How bail works in Alger County
When a person is arrested in Alger County, they are booked into the Alger County Jail, operated by the Alger County Sheriff's Office at 101 E. Varnum Street, Suite B, Munising, MI 49862 (906-387-4444). After booking, the defendant is brought before the 93rd District Court for arraignment, where the charges are read, constitutional rights are explained, and the judge sets the conditions and amount of bail. For misdemeanors (punishable by up to one year), the case generally remains in the 93rd District Court. For felonies, the district court holds the arraignment, sets bond, and schedules a probable cause conference and preliminary examination; if probable cause is established (or the exam is waived), the defendant is bound over to the 11th Circuit Court for trial and re-arraignment. Michigan courts may set bond as a personal recognizance (PR) bond, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% cash bond, or a full cash/surety bond, and may impose conditions. Bail is posted at the jail or court as directed; contact the Sheriff's Office or the court to confirm acceptable payment methods before posting.
