How bail works in Emmet County
After an arrest in Emmet County, the person is booked into the Emmet County Correctional Facility (Jeffrey P. Bodzick Building), 450 Bay Street, Petoskey, MI 49770; the corrections division can be reached at 231-347-2036. Initial arraignment and the setting of bond occur in the 90th District Court (200 Division St., Suite G12, Petoskey), which handles all misdemeanor criminal cases and the early stages of felony cases. At arraignment the judge or magistrate advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond. Misdemeanor cases are resolved in the 90th District Court. For felonies, the district court holds a probable-cause conference and a preliminary examination; if the case is bound over, it proceeds to the 57th Circuit Court of Emmet County (200 Division St., Suite 100, Petoskey) for trial-level proceedings. Under Michigan law (MCR 6.106), a court may release a defendant on personal recognizance or an unsecured appearance bond, or set a cash, surety (10% / bondsman), or a combination bond, considering flight risk and public safety.
