Few places in Michigan feel farther from home than the far-western Upper Peninsula when a loved one is locked up. If the call came from Gogebic County, take heart, because we can help from anywhere in the state. I'm Justin Butler, and along with my dad Gene I run the family agency he founded in 1982. After an arrest in Gogebic County, your person is booked into the Gogebic County Jail in Bessemer and then arraigned in the 98th District Court, which handles every initial arraignment and sets bond for both misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors stay in the 98th District Court through trial. Felonies that clear a preliminary examination are bound over to the 32nd Circuit Court, which covers Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties. A judge may grant a personal recognizance bond, a 10% cash bond, a full cash or surety bond, or release with conditions, depending on the charge, flight risk, and public safety. One local note: Gogebic sits in the Central Time zone, and that difference trips families up. We track it for you so nothing is missed. You pay the state-regulated 10% premium, we post the surety, and your loved one heads home to Bessemer. We're on call 24/7. Call Bail My Tail now, Flint 810-234-5776, Detroit 313-345-9255, or toll-free 877-869-8245.
