How bail works after a Marquette arrest

When the Marquette Police Department makes an arrest in the City of Marquette, the defendant is typically booked into the Marquette County Jail, operated by the Marquette County Sheriff's Office. The arrestee is then arraigned in the 96th District Court, located at 234 West Baraga Avenue, where a judge or magistrate sets bond. Michigan courts may grant a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a 10% cash bond paid to the court, a full cash bond, or a surety (bail) bond posted through a licensed bail agent. For felony charges, the case begins in the 96th District Court for arraignment and preliminary examination, then is bound over to the 25th Circuit Court for Marquette County, which handles felony trials and sentencing. Marquette is the county seat of Marquette County and the largest city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, sitting on the shores of Lake Superior and home to Northern Michigan University. Because the county jail and both courts serve the entire county from downtown Marquette, a city arrest moves quickly through this local system, and a surety bond lets a defendant be released while the case proceeds.
