How bail works in Charlevoix County
After an arrest in Charlevoix County, the person is booked into the Charlevoix County Jail, operated by the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Office at 1000 Grant St., Charlevoix, MI 49720 (231-547-4461), which operates 24/7. Following booking, the defendant is arraigned in the 90th District Court (Charlevoix location, 301 State St., Charlevoix, MI 49720), where the judge or magistrate advises of the charges and sets bond. The 90th District Court handles all misdemeanor matters and the early felony stages, including the preliminary examination. For felony charges, if the court finds probable cause at the preliminary exam, the case is bound over to the 33rd Circuit Court for trial. Michigan courts may set several bond types: a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a cash bond for the full amount, a 10% bond (cash deposit of one-tenth of the bond), or a surety bond posted through a licensed bail bond agent. Bond conditions are set at the court's discretion based on the offense and flight/safety risk.
