How bail works after a Sault Ste. Marie arrest

When someone is arrested in Sault Ste. Marie, the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department typically handles the initial booking, after which the arrestee is held at the Chippewa County Jail, operated by the Chippewa County Sheriff in the county seat. The arrestee is then arraigned in the 91st District Court at 325 Court Street, which sets bond for misdemeanors and conducts the first appearance on felony charges. If the case is a felony, after a preliminary examination it is bound over to the 50th Circuit Court, the felony trial court for Chippewa County, located nearby at 319 Court Street. Michigan courts may release a defendant on a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money down, a cash bond paid in full, or a 10% bond where you post a tenth of the amount with the court. A licensed bail bond agent can post a surety bond for a non-refundable fee, usually around 10% of the total. Sault Ste. Marie is the only city in Chippewa County, sitting in the eastern Upper Peninsula at the Soo Locks on the Canadian border.
