Leesburg borders The Villages, one of the largest retirement communities in the world. The Villages generates significant law enforcement activity that spills into Leesburg, particularly along US-441/US-27. DUI arrests from The Villages entertainment squares frequently involve Leesburg PD or the Lake County Sheriff depending on jurisdiction. The 5th Judicial Circuit covers Lake along with Marion, Citrus, Hernando, and Sumter counties.
Leesburg Bikefest is one of the largest three-day motorcycle rallies in the southeastern United States, drawing over 250,000 visitors to Leesburg each April. The event generates a massive spike in DUI, drug, and disorderly conduct arrests. LPD and LCSO coordinate a joint operations center for Bikefest weekend. The Lake County Jail in Tavares processes a significantly higher volume during this event.
The Villages retirement community extends into Lake and Sumter counties from its Marion County core. The entertainment squares at Brownwood Paddock, Lake Sumter Landing, and Spanish Springs generate substantial DUI arrest volumes. Depending on which square the arrest occurs at, it may fall under Lake County, Sumter County, or Marion County jurisdiction, each with a different jail. Confirm the county before calling a bondsman.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Lake County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Lake County bondsman who can post at the facility.
All arrests in these cities are processed through the county jail. The booking and bail process described above applies to every one of them.
