Corrections Officer Craig Bird Accused of Sexual Assault on Inmate

NEWAYGO COUNTY

A county jail corrections officer accused of having sexual contact with an inmate will stand trial on three sexual assault charges.

Craig William Bird, 51, waived his right to a probable cause hearing Thursday in Newaygo County District Court.

Bird is charged with three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Sheriffs officials have not released details of the allegations against Bird.

A judge lowered his bond Thursday from $50,000 to $10,000, with Bird required to pay 10 percent.
