A court proceeding where the defendant is informed of the charges, and often given the opportunity to plead guilty, not guilty or no contest.
An arraignment is usually a criminal defendant's first appearance in court or before a judge on a criminal charge.

At arraignment, the charges against the defendant will be read or the defendant will be asked if he/she is aware of the charges against them, and they will be asked how they wish to plead. It is not a hearing to determine guilt or innocence.

Should a person charged with a felony have to pay a bail bond as well as an arraignment bond?

More would have to be known about the situation. HOWEVER - it SEEMS that, if the defendant was released on an arraignment bond and was subsequently indicted, officially charged, and the court process begun, then the arraignment bond would be subjugated to an appearance bond, but state laws may vary on this, and there may be more than just one charge against the defendant in play here. Not enough information is being disclosed. As far as expenses charged by a bailbondsman for supplying these services, you would have to speak with the bailbondsman to get a clearer picture.
