Why You Must Call Immediately After an Arrest in Stillwater County
Stillwater County operates the county jail out of the Sheriff's Office on 3rd Avenue in Columbus. When that facility reaches capacity, inmates are transferred to the Yellowstone County Detention Facility in Billings, roughly 45 miles away.
Once a transfer happens, the release process gets significantly longer. More paperwork, more processing time, and more distance between your family and your loved one. Transfers can happen faster than most people expect - sometimes within hours of the initial arrest.
The best thing you can do is call us the moment you hear about an arrest. We move quickly to post bail at the Columbus facilities and may prevent the transfer from happening at all. If someone has already been transferred to Yellowstone County, we can still help - but it takes more time.
We know both jail systems and have experience posting bonds at all three locations. Call us and we go to work right away.
Stillwater County does not have a full overnight detention facility. When holding space is full, defendants are transported to Yellowstone County in Billings, approximately 45 miles away.
- Transfer can happen within hours of arrest
- Release time increases significantly after transfer
- More paperwork and processing at a second facility
- Calling us fast may prevent the transfer entirely
