Modoc County, CA
Modoc County sits in California’s far northeast corner, and an arrest here can leave relatives hundreds of miles from the person in custody. 1st Millennium Bail Bonds handles the release from a distance, so you can arrange bail for someone in Alturas without making the drive. We’re available seven days a week, and our flexible terms let you pay the premium in parts. Phone (530) 325-0088 or (530) 777-5449, or reach out through our website, for a no-cost conversation about next steps.
Alturas is both the county seat and Modoc’s only incorporated city. Beyond it, we help families with arrests in Cedarville and the rest of Surprise Valley, as well as Canby, Adin, Likely, Lookout, Davis Creek, Fort Bidwell and Newell. Once you approve the paperwork, our agent files it at the Alturas jail and contacts you when your relative is cleared to leave. To speak with someone now, call (530) 325-0088.
Booking turns an arrest into an official custody record. The jail logs identification details and charges, takes fingerprints and a mugshot, and inventories personal property. In a small facility this often wraps up within a few hours.
Adult arrestees throughout the county are taken to Modoc County Jail, 102 South Court Street, Alturas, CA 96101.
The Modoc County Sheriff’s Office runs this jail, and it receives people arrested by deputies, the Alturas Police Department and the CHP officers who patrol the county’s highways. Because the county borders both Oregon and Nevada, many of the people booked here live out of state. For custody information, the Sheriff’s Office can be reached at (530) 233-4416.

Initial bail is drawn from the Modoc County Superior Court’s published schedule of offenses. A judge may set a different figure after reviewing the case, and some of the most serious accusations can result in a no-bail hold.
Covering bail in cash means handing over every dollar up front and waiting until the case ends to recover it. A surety bond is a simpler option for most families. Our fee, called a premium, usually equals one-tenth of the total bail, and in exchange we sign on as guarantor for the entire obligation. The premium compensates us for writing and backing the bond, so it’s nonrefundable. We take credit cards, checks and cash, and approved customers can spread the cost through financing.
Out here, an arrest can happen on a remote highway at midnight or during a busy holiday weekend. We pick up the phone regardless of the hour. Bonds can be started over the phone or online, so distance and office hours never slow you down.
When you sign for a bond, you vouch that the defendant will follow through with the court. They need to appear in Alturas for every scheduled hearing. If they fail to show, the judge can issue a warrant and treat the bond as forfeited. At that point the signer may have to cover the whole bail. Please update us right away about any change in where the defendant lives, how to reach them or when court is scheduled.
