Ohio Rev. Code § 2713.24: Bail may be substituted for a deposit of money.

If the defendant deposits money as provided by section 2713.09 of the Revised Code, on notice such as is required for giving and justifying it, bail may be given and justified any time before judgment. Thereupon the court in which the action is brought, on being satisfied that bail has been given and adjudged sufficient, shall direct that the money deposited be refunded to the defendant, and it must be refunded accordingly.
