New Felony Arrest While on Bail in Nevada: Hearings and Possible Revocation

What Nevada law establishes
A new arrest while on release can lead to review of the original release order. Obtain both case records and ask counsel about any detention order, available hearing and applicable legal standard. Do not assume that the new arrest by itself requires revocation in every case.
Official reference · NRS178 § 487Find out what happened in the original case
Nevada has special provisions concerning defendants facing specified new allegations while already on release. Counsel should review whether the statutory conditions apply and what custody proceeding has occurred. Avoid treating a new accusation as proof that the earlier bond was automatically cancelled in every situation. Obtain the existing order and any new entries rather than relying on a jail label or a prediction about what the judge will probably do.
Official reference · NRS178 § 4855Official reference · NRS178 § 487Resolve the two-case problem with separate records
Identify the release status, appearances, financial security, and conditions for each matter. A payment accepted in one case may leave another lawful custody basis untouched. Ask the agent to identify exactly which undertaking it proposes to issue and how any previous collateral is being handled. Counsel can explain the available review in each court. There is no reliable basis to promise immediate release, identical treatment across cases, or a fixed increase in the next bond amount.
Official reference · NRS178 § 4851Official reference · NRS697 § 320After a second arrest
Obtain the case and custody records for both matters. A second arrest does not establish that legal fees, court dates or bail amounts automatically double.
Cosigner and collateral questions
Review each undertaking, contract and court notice. Do not assume a second arrest automatically forfeits the first bond or transfers every recovery cost to the cosigner. Ask for an itemized explanation of any claimed obligation.
Impact on existing negotiations
A new arrest may affect both cases, but does not establish guilt or cancellation of every plea offer. Counsel should review each order and available proceeding.
Steps after a second arrest
Contact counsel promptly and provide both sets of case records. Confirm every custody basis and required appearance; no fixed period of detention is established by the arrest alone.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do dismissed new charges restore the original bail? Have counsel confirm the current order and whether relief must be requested. Can release involve two bonds? Each case’s order and any other holds require separate confirmation; one payment may not resolve all custody matters.
