Bay County Bail Bonds

There's a particular kind of panic that comes with a call about an arrest in Bay County, and I've heard it in families' voices for years. Here's what I want you to know first: you have options, and you have us. I'm Justin Butler, son of Gene Butler, who started this family agency in 1982 to help neighbors through moments exactly like this one. In Bay County, your loved one is booked into the Bay County Jail at the Law Enforcement Center in Bay City, then arraigned in the 74th District Court, where a judge or magistrate explains the charges and sets bond. The 74th District Court carries misdemeanor cases through trial and sentencing and handles the first arraignment for felonies; if a preliminary examination finds probable cause, the felony is bound over to the 18th Circuit Court. Under MCR 6.106, a Michigan judge may set personal recognizance, an unsecured 10% bond, a cash or surety bond, or conditions of release. Bond can be posted with cash, money order, or certified check — or through a licensed agent like us, which spares your family from tying up that full amount. Our surety premium is the state-regulated 10%, no more. We answer 24 hours a day, every day. From Bay City and beyond, call Bail My Tail at 810-234-5776, 313-345-9255, or 877-869-8245.
