Lansing Bail Bonds

When a loved one is arrested in Lansing, the capital city's tangle of jurisdictions can leave you spinning. I'm Justin Butler, and my dad Gene and I have run Bail My Tail as a family since 1982. We know Lansing inside and out, and we'll cut through the confusion to get your person home. Here's how it goes. Most arrests inside the city are made by the Lansing Police Department downtown on West Michigan Avenue. From there, your loved one is usually booked into the Ingham County Jail on North Cedar Street in Mason, the county seat, run by the Ingham County Sheriff's Office. Initial arraignment for Lansing offenses is handled by the 54A District Court on West Michigan Avenue in Lansing, where the judge sets bond. Felonies move on to the 30th Circuit Court at the Veterans Memorial Courthouse on West Kalamazoo Street. One thing to know: while Lansing spreads across Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton counties, most of it sits in Ingham, so arrests are typically routed through the Ingham County jail and courts. Michigan judges can set a personal recognizance bond, a 10% cash bond, a full cash bond, or a surety bond through a licensed agent like us. Our premium is the state-regulated 10% of the bond — the same statewide — and we answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call Bail My Tail: Flint 810-234-5776, Detroit 313-345-9255, or toll-free 877-869-8245.
