How bail works in Allegan County
After an arrest in Allegan County, the person is booked at the Allegan County Sheriff's Office & Corrections Center, 640 River St., Allegan, MI 49010 (269-673-0500). Following booking, the defendant is arraigned in the 57th District Court, 113 Chestnut St., Allegan, MI 49010 (269-673-0400), where the judge advises the defendant of the charges, rights, and possible penalties, sets bond, and may take a plea. For misdemeanors, the 57th District Court handles the case from arraignment through sentencing. For felonies, the District Court conducts the arraignment, sets bond, and (after a probable cause conference) holds a preliminary examination. If the judge finds probable cause, the felony case is "bound over" to the 48th Circuit Court, 113 Chestnut St., Allegan, MI 49010 (269-673-0300), for further proceedings. Michigan bond types include personal recognizance (release on promise to appear), unsecured (10%) bond, cash/surety bond (full amount in cash, cashier's check, money order, or via a licensed surety/bail agent), and bond with conditions. The specific bond type and amount are set by the judge based on the charge and risk factors.
