Finding fugitives that purposely skip their court dates in fear of jail time can be some of the most difficult cases to track. In this specific case, the defendant Mr. Green virtually cut off all ties with his family and friends in order to be able to hide from those attempting to apprehend him. So virtually everything on the original bail application became completely useless. This case was similar to trying to find a needle in a hay stack as the saying goes.
To make matters even worse, the defendant's mother, whom the bounty hunters had contacted on numerous occasions was of no help and claimed to having not seen her son in months. It is always difficult to determine whether parents are telling the truth in regards to their offspring in matters like this. Some parents will protect their children at any costs even if they have a warrant for their arrest. This can be very disheartening for the bounty hunters and apprehension time in trying to locate the defendant.
The only option the bounty hunters had left was to use the indemnitor (the person who signed for the defendants release on the bond) as a resource. Fortunately the indemnitor was willing to cooperate with our staff in helping us locate the defendant simply due to the fact that the defendant did him wrong just like he did the baltimore bail bonds company wrong.
In working with the indemnitor we were able to track him to a specific location at a mutual friends place, apprehended the defendant, and transported him to Baltimore City Central Booking and Intake Center. As you can see from the video, the defendant was clearly upset that he was finally caught; however he was ultimately cooperative with the arresting authorities. The above video is a good example of how bounty hunting is done professionally.
Again, not every skip trace results in an intense fight or struggle. The best bounty hunters in Maryland will always try and keep things under control and cooperative so to not influence anything that could result in trouble down the road. There are many horror stories of bounty hunters bombarding into homes and tearing things apart with no clue as to whether the defendant is actually inside or not. This is not the professional way to go about this type of business.
