How bail works after a Norton Shores arrest
When the Norton Shores Police Department arrests someone within the city, the person is typically held briefly at the department on Henry Street before being transferred to the Muskegon County Jail at 990 Terrace Street in Muskegon, which the county Sheriff's Office operates. Criminal charges arising in Norton Shores are filed in the 60th District Court in Muskegon. The district court handles all misdemeanor cases and conducts the initial arraignment for every charge, where a judge or magistrate sets bond. For felony charges, the 60th District Court holds the arraignment and preliminary examination; if the prosecutor establishes probable cause, the case is bound over to the 14th Circuit Court in Muskegon for trial and sentencing. Michigan courts may set several bond types: a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a 10 percent (cash/surety) bond where you post a fraction of the total, or a full cash or surety bond requiring the entire amount. A licensed bail bond agent can post a surety bond for a non-refundable fee, usually around 10 percent of the bond.
