How bail works after a Royal Oak arrest

When someone is arrested in Royal Oak, the Royal Oak Police Department (450 E. 11 Mile Rd) typically books and holds them at its local lockup before transfer. Most defendants are then moved to the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, the county seat, where the Sheriff manages custody for the area. Misdemeanors and local ordinance violations are arraigned at the 44th District Court (400 E. 11 Mile Rd, Royal Oak), which also conducts felony arraignments and preliminary examinations. If a felony charge survives the preliminary exam, the case is bound over to the Oakland County 6th Circuit Court in Pontiac for trial. At arraignment, a judge or magistrate sets bond. Michigan courts use several bond types: a personal recognizance (PR) bond requires no money up front, a 10% cash bond lets you post a fraction with the court, and a full cash or surety bond requires the entire amount, where a licensed bail bondsman posts a surety bond for a non-refundable fee. Posting promptly after arraignment is the fastest route to release from the Pontiac jail.
