Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

disorderly conduct

In ohio you can be jailed for disorderly conduct, if the officer feels you will continue to be disorderly. Minor misdemeanor. Once in court, without the threat of actual jail time for the punishment, can a judge hold you for trial if you choose to exersice that right? Right meaning if you choose trial over posting bond, and judge keeping you in jail until the trial. Also, said person is a long time resident of city/county of arrest,has job, etc, You get my point. Thank you.
