How bail works in Gogebic County
After an arrest in Gogebic County, the individual is booked into the Gogebic County Jail, 100 W. Iron St., Bessemer, MI 49911 (Sheriff's Office: 906-667-0203). The defendant is then arraigned in the 98th District Court (200 N. Moore St., Bessemer, MI 49911; 906-663-4611), which handles all initial arraignments and sets bond for both misdemeanor and felony matters at this stage. For misdemeanors, the District Court retains the case through trial. For felonies, the District Court conducts the arraignment and a preliminary examination; if the judge finds probable cause, the case is bound over to the 32nd Circuit Court (same courthouse; 906-663-4211), which has felony jurisdiction over Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties. Under Michigan law, a judge may release a defendant on a personal recognizance (PR) bond (no money down), a 10% cash bond, a cash or surety bond (full amount or via a licensed bail-bond agent), or with conditions. Bond type and amount depend on the charge, flight risk, and public safety. Gogebic County is in the far-western Upper Peninsula and observes Central Time. Contact the jail or court directly to confirm the amount owed and accepted payment methods before posting.
