Search the Antrim County Jail Roster, Confirm Custody and Act on Bond or Court Information

Antrim County’s official inmate-information page directs families to VINE, CIDNET, JailATM and the jail’s own contact information rather than offering a large public name-search roster on the county page. For a recent arrest, use VINE as the online search and call the Antrim County Correctional Facility to confirm the current booking.

Three nearby Bellaire locations handle different tasks: the jail is at 207 E. Cayuga Street, the criminal courts are at 205 E. Cayuga Street, and the sheriff’s administrative office is at 209 Portage Drive. Use the correct address before traveling.

How to Confirm Bond and Release in Antrim County

Recognizance

Release without traditional cash payment, subject to appearing in court and obeying all conditions.

Deposit bond

Percentage payment

Pay a percentage only when the current written court order specifically allows that option.

Cash or surety

Troubleshooting the search

Why an Antrim County Jail Search Shows No Result

Possible reason What may be happening Exact next action
Booking is incomplete Transport, fingerprinting, screening or data entry may still be underway. Call 231-533-8627 and ask whether the person is in intake.
Name variation The record may use a middle name, maiden name, alias or different spelling. Try variations and ask the jail to compare the date of birth.
Wrong county The arrest location and receiving jail may be different. Ask the arresting agency where the person was transported.
Released The person may no longer be in current custody. Check MI-VINE and MiCOURT for status and case information.
Transferred The person may have moved to another county, hospital or agency. Ask the jail for the receiving facility or agency.
MDOC custody The person may be in state prison, parole or MDOC probation records. Search OTIS rather than the county jail.
Federal custody A federal arrest may not appear in county or MDOC systems. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator and federal court records.
Restricted record Juvenile, sealed or otherwise restricted information may not be public. Contact the court clerk or an attorney; do not bypass access restrictions.

Understand the result correctly

Antrim County Booking and Court Record Decoder

Recognizance Release based on appearing in court and following conditions, without a traditional cash payment.

Bound over A felony case has moved or is moving from district court to circuit court.

How to Request an Antrim County Arrest Record

Sheriff-created report

Antrim County Sheriff Administration

Address:
209 Portage Drive, Suite A
P.O. Box 568
Bellaire, MI 49615

Phone: 231-533-8627
Email: sheriff@antrimcountymi.gov
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

The sheriff’s administrative lobby handles services including FOIA requests and accident-report assistance.

What to include

Prepare a Focused Request

  • Incident or report number
  • Date and approximate time
  • Location
  • Name of involved person
  • Arresting agency
  • Specific documents requested
  • Preferred delivery method

Request from the agency that created the report. The sheriff may not control a village-police or MSP report.

Final court outcome

Use the Court Clerk

Use the district or circuit court—not a jail booking page— for certified proof of:

  • Dismissal
  • Plea
  • Conviction
  • Acquittal
  • Sentence
  • Set-aside order
A police report describes the investigation. A jail record describes custody. A court record explains what happened to the charge.

Bellaire and Antrim County guidance

Local Tips That Prevent Wrong Trips and Search Errors

Three addresses are close—but different

Use 207 E. Cayuga for the jail, 205 E. Cayuga for court and 209 Portage Drive for sheriff administration.

Call before driving

Confirm the person’s facility, visiting procedure, court schedule or property-pickup instructions before traveling to Bellaire.

Search the arresting agency

Arrests may involve the county sheriff, village police, Michigan State Police or another jurisdiction.

Rural transfers can change the route

Ask whether the person remained in Antrim County or was transferred to another facility, hospital or court jurisdiction.

District and circuit court both matter

A felony can begin in the 86th District Court and later continue in the 13th Circuit Court.

Use a case number when possible

A case number is more precise than a name, particularly when the defendant has a common name.

10 practical answers

Antrim County Jail Roster Search FAQs

1. How do I search the Antrim County jail roster online?
Use VINELink, select Michigan and search the person’s full legal name. Compare the facility and identifying information, then call the Antrim County Correctional Facility at 231-533-8627 to confirm current custody, the booking number, bond and court.
2. Does Antrim County have a public inmate-search form?
The county’s official inmate-information page links users to VINE and family-service providers rather than displaying a large public name-search roster. Use VINE for the online lookup and the jail phone for confirmation.
3. Where is the Antrim County jail located?
The Antrim County Correctional Facility is at 207 E. Cayuga Street, Bellaire, Michigan 49615. Its mailing address is P.O. Box 568, Bellaire, Michigan 49615. Call 231-533-8627 before traveling.
4. Why is the inmate not appearing in VINE?
Booking may not be complete, the name may be recorded differently, the person may have been released or transferred, or another county, MDOC or federal authority may have custody. Confirm the arresting agency and call the jail.
5. Which court handles an Antrim County arrest?
The 86th District Court handles arraignments, bond decisions, misdemeanors and early felony proceedings. A felony can later move to the 13th Circuit Court after bindover.
6. How do I confirm the current bond amount?
Call the jail or 86th District Court and ask whether a judge formally set bond, the current amount and type, whether another hold exists, where payment is accepted and which payment methods are approved.
7. How can I call, message or video-visit an Antrim County inmate?
The official county inmate-information page links families to CIDNET. Create an account, locate the correct facility, add the incarcerated contact and review the available services. Facility services vary, and communications may be monitored or recorded.
8. How do I deposit money into an Antrim County inmate account?
Use JailATM for approved online deposits or ask about the Stellar Teller lobby kiosk, which the county says accepts cash and credit or debit cards. Confirm the inmate identifier and fee, and keep the receipt.
9. How do I report urgent medication or a health concern?
Call 231-533-8627 and request the approved medical-information process. Prepare the booking number, medication name, dosage, last dose, prescriber, pharmacy, allergies and urgent medical risks. Do not deliver medication unless instructed.
10. Does an Antrim County booking mean the person was convicted?
No. A booking or charge records an arrest and allegation, not guilt. Use MiCOURT and the appropriate court clerk to find the current charge and final outcome, which may include dismissal, reduction, plea, conviction, acquittal or another disposition.
Independent information notice: Arrests-Org-Michigan.us is not operated by Antrim County, the Antrim County Sheriff, the Antrim County Correctional Facility, the 86th District Court, the 13th Circuit Court, Michigan State Police, MDOC, CIDNET, JailATM or MI-VINE. Custody, bond, court dates, providers, visitation rules and release information can change. Verify urgent facts with the jail, court or attorney. An arrest is not proof of guilt, and this page does not provide legal advice.
