Kalkaska County Bail Bonds

Finding out a family member is in custody in Kalkaska County is unsettling enough, and then you learn they may be moved and the worry doubles. Let me put your mind at ease. I'm Justin Butler of Bail My Tail, the agency my father Gene started in 1982, and helping Michigan families through exactly this moment is what we do. Here's how it works in Kalkaska. Your loved one is first booked at the Kalkaska County Sheriff's Office jail in Kalkaska. Because that's a lockdown booking facility, anyone held longer is often housed at the Wexford County Jail in Cadillac, so don't panic if they're transferred. Arraignment is in the 87-B District Court, where a judge or magistrate sets bond after weighing the charge, flight risk, and public safety. The court may set a personal recognizance bond, a cash bond, a 10% cash-percentage bond, or a surety bond. The 87-B District Court handles misdemeanors and the felony preliminary exam; felonies bound over go to the 46th Circuit Court, which serves Crawford, Kalkaska, and Otsego counties. We post the surety bond for the state-regulated 10% premium, so you don't have to scrape together the full amount. Day or night, 24/7, a Butler will pick up.
