Depending on the state the process may vary. In Texas when a person is arrested they are taken to the detention facility (jail) and booked in for the charges for which the officer either had a warrant of arrest or probable cause and an arrest authority. After being processed in the central booking facility then you will see the magistrate (a judge) to determine if probable cause existed for your arrest. In the event of a warrant the judge may review your bond or have other procedural things to tell you about, in the event you are arrested on a new charge the judge reads the probable cause affidavit and determines if the officer had probable cause to arrest you. If the judge agrees the officer did they sign the PC affidavit, set a bond amount (if any) and advise you of some details/important matters. After you are done with magistration you will then have an opportunity to make bond, or have a friend/family member do so, and within time after that is done you will be released on bond.
