How bail works in Ottawa County
After an arrest in Ottawa County, the person is taken to the Ottawa County Jail (Corrections Division), 12130 Fillmore Street, West Olive, MI 49460, phone 616-738-4095, for booking. Within a short time the defendant is arraigned in the 58th District Court, which handles arraignments, misdemeanors, and the initial stages of felonies; at arraignment a judge sets bond. Under Michigan practice a judge may grant release on personal recognizance (no money down), or set a cash bond (full amount paid), a 10% bond (deposit ten percent with the court), or a surety bond (posted through a licensed bail agent). For misdemeanors the case stays in the 58th District Court. For felonies, the District Court holds a preliminary examination; if the judge finds probable cause, the defendant is bound over to the 20th Judicial Circuit Court of Ottawa County in Grand Haven, where felony trials are held and bond may be revisited. Bond amount and conditions depend on the charge, flight risk, criminal history, and public-safety factors. Confirm the exact bond amount and accepted payment forms with the jail before posting.
