How bail works in Gratiot County
After an arrest in Gratiot County, the person is booked into the Gratiot County Jail, operated by the Gratiot County Sheriff's Office at 226 E Center Street, Ithaca, MI 48847 (989-875-5211), which runs 24 hours a day. For most criminal charges, the defendant is brought before a judge or magistrate of the 65B District Court (245 E Newark Street, Ithaca) for arraignment, where the charges are read and bond (bail) is set. The 65B District Court handles arraignment and bond for both misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors are generally resolved in the District Court. Felonies proceed to a preliminary examination in the 65B District Court; if the judge finds probable cause, the case is bound over to the 29th Circuit Court (214 E Center Street, Ithaca), which handles felony trials and sentencing for Gratiot County. Michigan bond types include personal recognizance (release on promise to appear), unsecured (10%) bond, cash bond, and surety bond posted through a licensed bail bond agent. Bond amount and conditions are set by the judge based on the offense and the defendant's circumstances.
