How bail works after a Coldwater arrest

When someone is arrested in Coldwater, Michigan, the Coldwater Police Department (a full-service agency at 57 Division Street) typically handles the booking before the person is transported to the Branch County Jail, operated by the Branch County Sheriff's Office at 379 Keith Wilhelm Drive. Because Coldwater is the county seat of Branch County, the courts handling the case sit downtown in the same city. Misdemeanor charges and the initial arraignment, where bond is set, go before the 3-A District Court at 31 Division Street. Felony cases also begin in the 3-A District Court for arraignment and preliminary examination, then are bound over to the 15th Circuit Court (the Branch County Circuit Court), which has jurisdiction over felony matters. Michigan judges may set several bond types: a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a 10% cash bond (paid to the court), a full cash bond, or a surety bond posted through a licensed bail bond agent. The specific bond amount and conditions depend on the charge, criminal history, and the judge's discretion at arraignment.
