How bail works in Lapeer County
When someone is arrested in Lapeer County, they are booked into the Lapeer County Jail at 3231 John Conley Drive, Lapeer, MI 48446 (jail/Sheriff's Office: 810-664-1801). After booking, the defendant is arraigned. Under Michigan law, all criminal cases begin with an arraignment, and initial arraignments and bond decisions for Lapeer County are handled by the 71A District Court (255 Clay Street, Lapeer, MI 48446; 810-667-0314). At arraignment, the defendant is advised of the charges and maximum penalties, informed of their rights, and a District Court magistrate or judge determines eligibility for release on bond, the type of bond, and the amount. Michigan bond types include personal recognizance (PR/release on own recognizance), unsecured (10%) bond, cash bond, and surety bond posted through a licensed bail bondsman. The 71A District Court handles misdemeanor matters (punishment up to one year) through trial and sentencing. For felonies, the District Court conducts the arraignment and a preliminary examination; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 40th Circuit Court of Lapeer County (255 Clay Street) for further felony proceedings.
