Finding out a family member has been arrested and taken to the Sanilac County Jail in Sandusky can knock the wind out of you. Take a breath, we've got you. Bail My Tail has been a family-owned bail-bonds agency since 1982, run by Gene Butler and his son Justin, and we treat every caller like one of our own. The Sanilac County Jail is located at 65 North Elk Street in Sandusky, and it stays open 24 hours a day. So do we: call our toll-free line at 877-869-8245 any hour and you'll reach a real member of our family, not a machine. We'll explain how the bond works, what the court set, and how fast we can get moving. Across Michigan we post surety bonds for the state-regulated 10% premium, which means the cost is set by law and we'll lay it out plainly before you commit. After your bond is posted at the Sanilac County Jail, folks are usually released within about two to eight hours, depending on how many people the jail is processing. We'll keep checking in so you're never left wondering. There's no reason to face this alone in the middle of the night. Call Bail My Tail now at 877-869-8245, or our Flint office at 810-234-5776, and we'll start bringing your loved one home.
