What happens is this;
-Suspect is arrested
-His license is immediately "suspended" by the arresting officer and he is issued a temporary paper license by the officer to get to and from work (this is per DMV policy)
-He is taken to jail and booked into "the drunk tank"
-The arresting officer writes a citation and gives it to the deputy at the jail.
-The arresting officer returns to GT to get more drunks.
-In about 6 hours (or when the bad guy sobers up) the deputy has him sign the citation in preparation for release
-The drunk (who is now sober) is released
-He later appears in court and is hopefully convicted.
After reviewing the (Booking LOG) info below, I believe that is what you are seeing here. These suspects are actually being taken out of Grand Terrace and booked into the jail, although the automated info does not clearly explain this fact. There is no bail amount listed because there is no bail required. The jail can release them on their promise to appear. They may also do this on other misdemeanor charges at the jail, but it is usually reserved for drunks (647f) and DUI drivers.
I hope this helps.
