How bail works in Montmorency County
A person arrested in Montmorency County is booked by the Montmorency County Sheriff's Department (11045 M-32 West, Atlanta, MI 49709; 989-785-4238). Montmorency County does not operate its own jail; arrestees are held at the Alpena County Correctional Facility (Alpena County Sheriff's Office & Jail, 4900 M32 W, Alpena, MI 49707; 989-354-9830). The arrestee is then arraigned in the 88th District Court (12265 M-32, Atlanta, MI 49709; 989-785-8035), which handles arraignments, sets bond, and disposes of misdemeanors (jail terms up to one year). For felonies, the 88th District Court conducts the initial arraignment and a preliminary examination; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 26th Circuit Court (12265 M-32, Atlanta, MI 49709; 989-785-8022) for trial. Under Michigan law (MCR 6.106), a judge may release a defendant on personal recognizance, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% cash bond, or a cash/surety bond, considering flight risk and public safety.
