How bail works after a Muskegon arrest

In the City of Muskegon, the county seat of Muskegon County, most arrests are made by the Muskegon Police Department, which books arrestees into the Muskegon County Jail. After booking, the defendant is brought before the 60th District Court for arraignment, where the judge advises them of the charges and possible penalties and sets bond. Michigan courts may set a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money, a cash or surety bond, or a 10-percent bond. For surety bonds, a licensed Michigan bail agent posts the full amount for a state-regulated, non-refundable premium so the defendant can be released while the case proceeds. Misdemeanors are handled entirely within the 60th District Court. Felony cases begin in the 60th District Court for arraignment and a probable-cause/preliminary examination, then are bound over to the 14th Circuit Court, Muskegon County's court of general jurisdiction, for trial. Bond conditions set at arraignment continue to apply, and failure to appear can result in bond forfeiture and a new warrant. Because Muskegon is the county seat, its courthouses and the county jail are all located downtown.
