As if a Baltimore city bail bondsmen's job isn't already difficult, a judge released a defendant after being brought into custody by a local warrant apprehension team. This was a very frustrating occurrence for Big Boyz Bail Bonds as it was not an easy task to bring the defendant back into custody considering at the time he was homeless.
Fortunately for our bail bonds company, the person who signed for the bond was very willing and able to aid our company in our retrieval efforts. After hours of driving around and various other search efforts we were able to serve our purpose as a bail bonds company in Maryland and successfully apprehend the defendant for the good of the State. Most other rogue bail bondsmen in Maryland will not even bother to look for the defendant and leave it to the police to eventually stumble upon the person with the warrant.
When the captured defendant appeared in front of the judge for his bond review hearing he explained to the judge that he simply went to the Annapolis court house when he was supposed to be at the Glen Burnie district court house. While this seems like an honest mistake, how come after this took place the defendant did not contact our company in regards to the situation and make arrangements to turn himself in? How could a Baltimore City judge re-instate a bond that is for Anne Arundel County? When we arrested the defendant, why did the defendant at first lie about what his real name was?
As a legitimate Baltimore Bail Bonds company we try to do what is right at all times. Now that the defendant has been released he is back on the run again and will eventually be given a new court date that he will most likely miss again and we will begin the search process all over. Needless to say, the signer for the bond is not pleased at the fact that all the hard work that was put into detaining the defendant was all for naught.
I believe Judges statewide should be more aware of what is going on when a fugitive is brought before them for their bond hearing. The bond hearing probably lasted no more than 3-5 minutes and in that time was probably never aware of the fact that the defendant was detained by a warrant apprehension team associated with the bail bonds company. In addition, he probably did not even ask the defendant if he had a stable address and if he did the judge for sure did not take the time to verify the address.
