You can make a no arrest bond - put up the full cash amount or hire a bondsman to put up the percentage and pay their fee. If you do this, you will not sit in jail at all. You should also hire a lawyer before doing this. Depending on the county, you could be held for a couple of weeks before going to court although in larger counties it is generally within 2 days. You could get up to 1 year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine.
