California Penal Code 594 is regarding Vandalism. It sounds like you are describing an event that involved defacing something and the cost was valued at more than $400.00.

Bail can be optional. A court can release a defendant on their own recognizance (also referred to as an "OR" release). Jail time is not mandatory.
