What the 41A District Court Handles
Misdemeanor Criminal Cases
The Sterling Heights court states that its Criminal Division handles misdemeanors where the potential punishment does not exceed one year.
Depending on the case, proceedings may include arraignment, pretrial proceedings, trial, sentencing, or other appearances.
Felony Preliminary Proceedings
The Criminal Division handles arraignments, setting of bail, and preliminary examinations in felony cases.
Felony cases that proceed beyond the district-court stage may continue in the Macomb County 16th Judicial Circuit Court.
Bond Conditions May Continue After Release
Posting bond does not necessarily end the defendant's pretrial obligations. The court may impose conditions that remain in effect while the case is pending.
Possible Additional Conditions
Depending on the case, the court may order conditions involving contact with certain people or locations, electronic monitoring, drug or alcohol testing, counseling, or other requirements.
Bond Condition Monitoring
The court's Probation Department monitors certain bond conditions. Questions about bond-condition monitoring can be directed to the Probation Department at 586-446-2565.
Where Is Bond Posted?
Where a bond is posted depends on the time of day, court jurisdiction, custody status, and bond type.
Court of Jurisdiction
Macomb County states that during court hours, bonds must generally be posted at the court of jurisdiction, with exceptions for Circuit Court and Friend of the Court cases.
Confirm the defendant's case information before traveling or attempting payment.
Macomb County Sheriff's Office
Macomb County states that at other times, bonds can be paid through the Macomb County Sheriff's Office. Approved surety bond agents may post surety bonds.
