Maryland Bail Bonds Company Big Boyz Bail Bonds was contacted recently in regards to a defendant that was bailed out of Baltimore City Jail. We were contacted by the person that signed for this bond who was nervous about the defendant not appearing for his criminal court case.
We were informed by the signer of the bond that our defendant recently got "cold-feet" when it was time for him to show up for his Violation of Probation (VOP) hearing. We were told that he dropped him off at the court house and that the defendant never made it to the court house doors and decided to go on the run.
Our signer was clearly concerned by this and figured that he would not appear for the case that we posted bail for so he did the correct thing by contacting us. Bail Bondsmen in Maryland are primarily concerned with warrants for Failure to Appear (FTA). Even though this warrant wasn't for skipping on our bond there was clear concern that he would likely miss court so we acted quickly to serve the FTA warrant for missing his VOP hearing.
Most people think a bail bondman's sole purpose in Maryland is to provide the key for potential violent criminals to hit the streets again. This is not our purpose. Our purpose is to bring defendants we bail out back to court for justice to be served by a judge. Big Boyz Bail Bonds provides a valuable service to the community at large. We make sure that if defendants fail to appear we bring them back into the rightful custody of the state.
