How bail works after a Battle Creek arrest

When someone is arrested in Battle Creek, the Battle Creek Police Department typically books and transports them to the Calhoun County Correctional Center (the county jail) at 185 E Michigan Ave in Battle Creek, since the city has no separate municipal jail. Misdemeanor charges and the initial arraignment, where a judge sets bond, are handled by the Calhoun County 10th District Court at the Justice Center, 161 E Michigan Ave. If the charge is a felony, the case starts in the 10th District Court for arraignment and a preliminary examination, then is bound over to Michigan's 37th Circuit Court (Calhoun County) at the same Justice Center for trial. Michigan judges may set a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money, a cash or surety bond, or a 10% bond. A licensed bail bond agent can post a surety bond for a non-refundable premium (typically 10%) so the defendant can be released while the case proceeds. Bond amounts depend on the charge, criminal history, and flight risk.
