Arrest & Booking
The defendant is processed and identifying, charge and custody information becomes available.
Arraignment
The defendant is informed of the charges, and release or bond may be addressed.
Confirm the Bond
Verify the bond amount, bond type, conditions and correct location for posting the bond.

Where Do You Post the Bond?
The 52-3 District Court publishes specific instructions for posting bond when a defendant is currently being held in jail.
Post Bond at the Court
If the defendant is in jail and the case belongs to the 52-3 District Court, the court states that bond is posted at the court during court business hours.
The court only accepts bond for cases belonging to the 52-3 District Court.
Post Bond at the Jail
After court hours, the court instructs people to post bond at the jail.
The jail does not accept the bond payment while the court is open, making it important to verify the correct location before traveling.
Cash, Certified Funds & Surety Bonds
The exact bond order controls what is required. The 52-3 District Court publishes several important rules about how bonds can be posted.
Cash or Certified Funds
The court states that bonds must generally be posted in cash, by certified check or cashier's check, except when a surety bond is being used.
Always confirm the current amount and accepted payment method before traveling to the court or jail.
Surety Bonds
The 52-3 District Court recognizes surety bonds obtained through a bondsman.
The bondsman is responsible for filing the proper paperwork with the court to secure the surety bond.
How a 10% Bond Works at 52-3
$1,000 Bond With a 10% Provision
If the court specifically allows a 10% provision on a $1,000 bond, the amount required to post would be $100.
A 10% option only applies when the court's bond order specifically permits it.
The Court Retains a Portion
The 52-3 District Court states that when a 10% bond is returned, the person who posted it receives 90% of the amount posted and the court keeps 10%.
Some or all bond money may also be applied toward fines or costs when permitted.
Felony & Misdemeanor Cases at 52-3

For felony cases, the 52-3 District Court handles the arraignment and preliminary examination stages.
If a felony case is bound over following the district court proceedings, it proceeds to Oakland County Circuit Court for later trial proceedings.

For misdemeanor cases, the 52-3 District Court retains jurisdiction over the case from beginning to end.
Proceedings may include arraignment, pretrial hearings, motions, trial, sentencing and other criminal hearings.
Being Released on Bond Comes With Responsibilities
