32nd Circuit Court of Gogebic County Bail Bonds & Bond Information

After arraignment at 32nd Circuit Court of Gogebic County

In Gogebic County, the initial arraignment and the setting of bond occur in the 98th District Court (200 N. Moore St., Bessemer, MI 49911; 906-663-4611), which handles both misdemeanors and the early felony stages. The 32nd Circuit Court (same courthouse; 906-663-4211) has felony trial jurisdiction over Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties (a configuration in place since 1891). At arraignment, the judge advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond, considering the seriousness of the offense, the defendant's criminal history, ties to the community, and risk of flight or danger to the public. The judge may grant a personal recognizance bond, a 10% bond, or a cash/surety bond. For felonies, the District Court conducts a preliminary examination; if probable cause is established, the case is bound over to the 32nd Circuit Court, where a defendant may be re-arraigned on the information and bond may be reviewed or modified.
