How bail works in Clinton County
A person arrested in Clinton County is booked at the Clinton County Jail, operated by the Clinton County Sheriff's Office at 1347 E Townsend Road, St. Johns, MI 48879 (inmate inquiry 989-403-5090). After booking, the accused is arraigned in the 65A District Court at the Clinton County Courthouse, 100 E State Street, St. Johns, where the judge or magistrate advises of the charges and sets bond. The 65A District Court handles all adult misdemeanors (punishable by up to one year) through arraignment, bond, trial and sentencing. For felonies, the District Court conducts the initial arraignment, sets bond, and holds a preliminary examination; if the judge finds probable cause, the defendant is bound over to the 29th Circuit Court of Clinton County (100 E State Street, Suite 4500) for further felony proceedings. Michigan courts may set bond as a personal recognizance (PR) bond (released on a promise to appear), an unsecured appearance bond, a cash bond (full amount), a 10% (cash) bond, or a surety bond posted through a court-approved bail bond agency. Contact the jail or court to confirm the specific bond amount and accepted payment for any individual case.
