How bail works after a Oak Park arrest

When someone is arrested in Oak Park, Michigan, the Oak Park Department of Public Safety (whose officers are cross-trained as police and firefighters) handles the booking. Oak Park sits in Oakland County just north of 8 Mile Road, so defendants who are not released on a citation are typically transferred to the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac. The first court appearance, the arraignment, takes place at the 45th District Court on Oak Park Blvd, which serves Oak Park, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, and Royal Oak Township. At arraignment, a judge or magistrate sets bond. Michigan courts use several bond types: a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a cash bond, a 10 percent cash deposit bond, and a surety bond posted through a licensed bail bondsman. For a surety bond, a bail agent posts the full amount in exchange for a non-refundable premium (typically 10 percent under Michigan law). Misdemeanors generally stay in the 45th District Court, while felony cases proceed through a preliminary examination and, if probable cause is found, are bound over to the Oakland County 6th Circuit Court in Pontiac for further proceedings.
