Recently we were contacted by Steve Silverman of the Maryland law firm, Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin & White in regards to posting bond for a defendant held in Baltimore City Central Booking. At first glance this would appear like a normal bond. However, we soon discovered that the defendant locked up in Baltimore City was being held on Fugitive from Justice Charge out of the state of Connecticut. To make matters more difficult for Big Boyz Bail Bonds is that the defendant himself was not from Maryland, he was actually from Texas!
Typically, when one is incarcerated on a Fugitive from Justice Charge they are held without bail until the state that has lawful claim to the defendant can come and pick him up and take him back to the state where the charge is for. This defendant was able to obtain a bond because his family hired superb Maryland Defense Attorney Steve Silverman to handle the fugitive case in Maryland. The purpose of a bail in this particular instance is to insure that the defendant will willfully turn himself into the state of Connecticut within 30 days. As you can imagine, it is quite a difficult task to persuade a Maryland Judge that a defendant from Texas will eventually turn himself into a completely different state. Therefore, the judge ended up issuing a $200,000 bond in the case.
Big Boyz Bail Bonds executed the bond within hours of being contacted by the family for the bond. It is safe to say that 99% of the bail bondsmen in Maryland would never even dream of touching a bail like this. The defendant has virtually no ties to the state of Maryland other then the fact he comes here for business from time to time. There is no doubt that our Maryland Bail Bonds company took a significant amount of risk in executing this bond.
To make matters more interesting is that when the defendant turns himself into Connecticut he will be issued another bail. We informed the family of our capabilities of posting bails nationwide. So when the defendant receives his bail in Connecticut we will be more than capable to spring the defendant on that charge as well. Stay tuned for a follow-up on this particular case.
