The arrestee is then arraigned in the 7th District Court (212 E Paw Paw Street, Paw Paw, MI 49079; 269-657-8222), where a judge or magistrate sets bond. The 7th District Court handles all misdemeanor cases and conducts the initial arraignment and preliminary examination for felonies.

Michigan courts may set bond as a personal recognizance (PR) bond (no money), a 10% (cash) bond, a full cash bond, or a surety/bail bond posted through a licensed bail bondsman. Bond conditions and amount depend on the charge, flight risk, and public safety. Confirm current bond amount and posting procedure with the jail or court directly.
