41st Circuit Court of Dickinson County Bail Bonds & Bond Information

After arraignment at 41st Circuit Court of Dickinson County

In Dickinson County, criminal cases begin in the 95B District Court (705 S. Stephenson Ave., Iron Mountain, MI 49801; 906-774-0506), where a defendant is arraigned and the judge sets bond. Under Michigan practice the court may order release on personal recognizance, a cash bond, a 10% bond, or a cash/surety bond, weighing the charge, the defendant's criminal history, the facts alleged, and the risk of flight or danger to the community. Misdemeanors generally remain in the district court. For felonies, the district court conducts the initial arraignment and bond determination, then a preliminary examination. If the judge finds probable cause that a felony was committed, the case is bound over to the 41st Circuit Court (705 S. Stephenson Ave., Iron Mountain, MI 49801; 906-774-2266), which handles felony trials and sentencing. At the circuit level the judge may review, continue, or modify the bond set in district court. The 41st Circuit and 95th District courts are multi-county courts also serving Iron and Menominee counties.
