After an arrest in Ogemaw County, the person is booked into the Ogemaw County Correctional Facility at 912 W. Houghton Ave., West Branch, MI 48661 (989-345-5908). The first court appearance (arraignment) is held in the 82nd Judicial District Court (806 W.

Misdemeanor cases generally remain in the District Court through disposition.

Michigan courts may set bond as a personal recognizance (PR) release, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% (cash/surety) bond, or a full cash/surety bond, and may impose conditions of release. Contact the District Court for specific bond amounts and acceptable payment methods, as these are not published online.
