How bail works in Leelanau County
After an arrest in Leelanau County, the person is booked into the Leelanau County Jail at 8525 E. Government Center Dr., Suttons Bay, MI 49682 (booking: 231-256-8661). Initial arraignment is held in the 86th District Court (Leelanau branch, 8527 E. Government Center Dr., Suite 201, Suttons Bay), where a judge or magistrate advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond. Under Michigan court rules, bond may be a personal recognizance (PR) bond, an unsecured appearance bond, a cash bond, or a 10% (cash/surety) bond; conditions can also be imposed. Misdemeanors are generally resolved entirely in the 86th District Court. For felonies, the district court handles arraignment, bond, and a probable-cause/preliminary examination; if the defendant is bound over, the case is transferred to the 13th Circuit Court, which has felony trial jurisdiction over Leelanau County. Bond can be posted at the applicable court during business hours or after hours using the kiosk in the Sheriff's Office lobby. Always confirm the current bond amount and accepted payment methods with the court or jail by phone.
