Arrested in Bonita Springs? All Lee County bookings process through the Lee County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Bonita Springs sits at the southern edge of Lee County, bordering Collier County (Naples). The city has its own code enforcement but law enforcement is provided by the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO). All arrests book at the Lee County Jail at 2501 Ortiz Avenue in Fort Myers, about 25 minutes north on I-75. There is no local jail.
Bonita Springs and the adjacent Estero community straddle the Lee-Collier county line along US-41. The Coconut Point Mall in Estero and the Bonita Springs downtown area generate retail and nightlife-related arrests. If someone was arrested near the county line, the jurisdiction determines which jail: Lee County Jail in Fort Myers or the Naples Jail Center in Collier County. For Naples details, see our Naples page.
Bonita Springs' beach areas, including Barefoot Beach Preserve and nearby Lovers Key State Park, generate seasonal arrest activity related to alcohol, parking violations, and wildlife protection enforcement. FWC and LCSO patrol these areas. The Dog Beach area at Lovers Key sees concentrated activity during peak tourist season.
The Coconut Point Mall in adjacent Estero and the surrounding commercial corridor along US-41 generate retail theft, DUI, and traffic-related arrests. LCSO patrols this area as Estero is also unincorporated Lee County. The Hertz Arena (formerly Germain Arena) hosts Florida Everblades hockey games and concerts that produce event-related DUI arrests. All cases book at the Fort Myers jail.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Lee County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Lee County bondsman who can post at the facility.
