How bail works after a Kentwood arrest

When someone is arrested in Kentwood, the Kentwood Police Department (based at the Kentwood Justice Center on Walma Ave SE) handles the initial arrest. Because Kentwood has no city jail of its own, those who are not released are transported to the Kent County Correctional Facility at 703 Ball Avenue NE in Grand Rapids, the county's central booking and lodging facility. Misdemeanor and ordinance charges arising in Kentwood are arraigned at the 62B District Court, which sits in the same Justice Center complex as the police department. At arraignment, the judge sets bond. Michigan courts may set a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money, a cash bond, a 10% bond, or a full surety bond posted through a licensed bail agent. If the charge is a felony, the 62B District Court conducts the preliminary examination, and on a finding of probable cause the case is bound over to the 17th Circuit Court in Grand Rapids, which has jurisdiction over all felony trials in Kent County. Bond posted at the jail secures release while the case proceeds.
