Recently we had a defendant come into Big Boyz Bail Bonds wanting to turn himself in on a warrant for his arrest. This particular defendant failed to appear (FTA) for his court date, which carried a potential jail sentence, and was issued a pre-set bail by a district court judge. A $5,000 bail was set on the FTA. This is a relatively standard pre-set bail for a defendant with little to no record missing court on a misdemeanor charge.
Many people have a false perception about pre-set bails and think that we can post the bail without having the defendant turn himself into the authorities. The fact of the matter is that the courts must physically commit the defendant before he can be released from commitment. The moment the defendant appears in front of the commissioner he becomes committed in the system.
While in the office, the defendant questioned us about our ability to have him in and out within only a couple hours. One of the many services that Big Boyz Bail Bonds offers is a speedy turn in service of a defendant with a warrant for their arrest. Fugitive recovery agent Joey Orlando specializes in taking a defendant into custody and processing them in a local Baltimore County precinct.
Once the defendant gets processed at the precinct they are then transported to the commissioner's office to be committed in the system. Once this occurs the case becomes active and Agent Orlando can post the bail. After the bail gets posted the defendant is released, never having to see a jail cell at any point in the arresting process.
If you have a warrant for your arrest and want to get it taken care of, please contact our 24 hour bail bonds office at 410-534-6070 to inquire more about this turn in service for arrest warrants.
