Arenac County Jail (Arenac County Sheriff's Department)

county-jail · 126 N. Grove Street, Standish, MI 48658

A late-night call that someone you love has been arrested in Arenac County is the kind of news that knocks the wind out of you. We're Bail My Tail, and helping families through moments like this is what Gene Butler set out to do when he opened our doors in 1982; today he and his son Justin still answer the phone themselves. When your person is being held at the Arenac County Jail, run by the Arenac County Sheriff's Department at 126 N. Grove Street in Standish, we'll sit with you on the phone and lay out the next steps in plain language, no legal runaround. We post surety bonds across Michigan, and the premium is set by the state at 10 percent of the bond amount, so you'll know your cost before you commit a dime. We take care of the paperwork and post the bond at the jail in Standish so you can focus on your family instead of the system. The Sheriff's Department operates 24 hours a day, and so do we, because an arrest doesn't wait for business hours. After the bond is posted, most folks are released within about 2 to 8 hours, depending on jail volume. We'll be with you until your loved one walks out. Call our 24/7 toll-free line at 877-869-8245, or reach our Detroit office at 313-345-9255, and let us get to work.
