How bail works in Sanilac County
After an arrest in Sanilac County, the person is booked into the Sanilac County Jail, operated by the Sanilac County Sheriff's Office at 65 North Elk Street, Sandusky, MI 48471 (810-648-8338). (Note: Sandusky is the Sanilac County seat in Michigan's Thumb region — not Sandusky, Ohio.) Following booking, the accused is arraigned in the 73A District Court at the Sanilac County Courthouse, 60 West Sanilac Avenue, Sandusky, MI 48471, where a judge or magistrate advises of the charges and sets bond. Misdemeanors generally remain in the 73A District Court for trial. For felonies, the 73A District Court conducts the initial arraignment and sets bond, then holds a preliminary examination; if the judge finds probable cause, the case is bound over to the 24th Circuit Court of Sanilac County (same courthouse) for trial. Under Michigan practice (MCR 6.106), bond may be set as a personal recognizance (PR) bond, a 10% deposit bond, a cash bond, or a surety bond. Bond conditions and amount depend on the charge, flight risk, and public safety. Always confirm current bond amount and posting procedures with the jail or court.
