How bail works after a East Lansing arrest

Most arrests in East Lansing are made by the East Lansing Police Department, though incidents on the Michigan State University campus are typically handled by the MSU Police Department. After booking, arrestees are transported to the Ingham County Jail (Correctional Facility) in Mason, the county seat, which is operated by the Ingham County Sheriff's Office. Initial appearances and arraignments for East Lansing cases are heard at the 54B District Court in downtown East Lansing, which sets bond conditions on misdemeanors and conducts walk-in arraignments weekday mornings. Felony charges are arraigned in the 54B District Court and, after a preliminary examination, bound over to the 30th Circuit Court (Ingham County), which sits at the Veterans Memorial Courthouse in Lansing and in Mason. Michigan judges may release a defendant on a personal recognizance bond, a cash or 10% cash bond, or a surety (bail) bond posted through a licensed bail agent. Because of MSU, many East Lansing cases involve students and visitors who post bond quickly to secure release from the Mason jail.
