How bail works after a Ferndale arrest

When someone is arrested in Ferndale, the Ferndale Police Department (310 E. Nine Mile Rd.) makes the initial booking. Because Ferndale has no city jail for holding, detainees are typically transferred to the Oakland County Jail at 1200 N. Telegraph Rd. in Pontiac, where they are processed and held pending arraignment. Misdemeanor and local ordinance charges arising in Ferndale are heard at the 43rd District Court's Ferndale location (305 E. Nine Mile Rd.), which handles arraignment, where a judge or magistrate sets bond. Michigan courts commonly use several bond types: personal recognizance (no money down, a signed promise to appear), 10% (cash/partial), cash or surety (the full amount posted in cash or through a licensed bail bond agent), and unsecured. Once a bondsman posts a surety bond, the defendant is released from the Oakland County Jail. If the charge is a felony, the case begins in the 43rd District Court for arraignment and preliminary examination, then is bound over to the Oakland County 6th Circuit Court (also at 1200 N. Telegraph Rd., Pontiac) for trial-level proceedings. Bail terms set in district court generally carry forward.
