    If you have failed to appear previously then yes, you could well be held without bond. Not likely otherwise unless you have no ties to your community and for some reason appear to pose a serious flight risk.
    If charged as a felony, he is likely to be remanded unless he comes prepared to post bail. He should EXPECT it to be charged as a felony.

    Very peculiar that they decided to send a notice that he has been charged rather than simply issue a warrant and wait for him to get snatched up. Guess this is easier. But, even if it is a felony, if he appears as instructed, the court may well be inclined to waive bail and allow him to be released on his own recognizance. Some courts can be lenient that way.

    I would recommend he consult an attorney first thing Monday.
