Harford County Bail Bonds Company, Big Boyz Bail Bonds, was ecstatic to discover that a $75,000 bond posted for a defendant in Harford County was successfully apprehended today in Tucson Arizona. This defendant posted bond with our company back in 2005 and due to multiple postponements of his case he forfeited the bond only recently in September of 2009.
When we were notified by Harford County Circuit Court of this defendant failing to appear for court we were put in a very difficult position. All of the information within our file was very outdated. The information was from 5 years ago and just about every phone number was disconnected and most all people associated with the bail did not live at their respective addresses anymore. To make matters worse for us, the defendant went by the very common name of James Jackson and had at least 5 other alias names he has used in the past.

This was only the beginning. At the time of posting the bond, the defendant was residing in Philadelphia and the signer for the bond lived in New York. The defendant had no ties at all to the state of Maryland as he was arrested passing through the state in route to New York. Technically, we had no business writing the bail but hind-sight is only 20-20. By posting bond for this defendant we signed guaranteeing Harford County that he would appear for court. So it was our responsibility to bring Mr. Jackson back to Harford County to face his charges.
Today, Special Agent Joey Orlando of the Maryland Fugitive Task Force was contacted by friendly bounty hunters in New York about a defendant arrested in Tucson Arizona under the name James Jackson and the alias names we knew of. After matching his finger prints with his FBI ID# we were assured we had our man. Eventually, Mr. Jackson will be transported to New York and then Philadelphia to be served on several warrants. Soon after, he will be extradited down to Harford County Maryland to be served on our warrant.
An event such as today should prove to all fugitives currently on the run that you can only stay on the run for so long before the law catches up to you. No matter how far away you are you always run the risk of getting picked up at any time and any place. Trust and believe that once you get caught, the Bail Bondsmen will be aware and you will eventually be brought back to jail in the location of your court hearing.
