When a family member is arrested up in Houghton County, the first hours feel overwhelming, and that is exactly when a steady voice helps most. We are Bail My Tail, a Michigan family agency that Gene Butler started in 1982 and now runs with his son Justin, and we pick up the phone around the clock. In Houghton County, your loved one is booked into the Houghton County Corrections Facility, tucked behind the Sheriff's Office at 403 East Houghton Avenue in Houghton. From there they are arraigned in the 97th District Court in the same building, where a judge or magistrate sets the bond. Felony matters that find probable cause are bound over to the 12th Circuit Court of Houghton County for trial. However high the number sounds, you do not have to pay it all. We post a surety bond statewide for a state-regulated 10% premium, so a fraction gets your person home while the case is heard. We will explain the posting process at the Sheriff's Office, answer every question, and take the weight of the paperwork off your shoulders. Forty-plus years of doing this for Michigan families means we have seen it before and we know how to move quickly. Reach us anytime on our 24/7 toll-free line at 877-869-8245, or call our Flint office at 810-234-5776 or our Detroit office at 313-345-9255. Let's bring them home.
