Maryland Bail Bonds Blog

Over the weekend it was reported by the Baltimore Sun that Baltimore Ravens' linebacker Sergio Kindle was arrested in Howard County on a DUI charge. The charging documents state that Kindle blew a .17 which is over twice the legal limit in Maryland of .08. Kindle has been on the non-football related injury list all year from a fall down two flights of stairs before training camp was set to start that resulted in a fracture of his skull.

Kindle was taken to the Howard County Detention Center early in the morning to see the district court commissioner. Much like Baltimore singing artist Mario, Kindle was given a personal pledge bond in the amount of $10,000. The Baltimore Sun article reports simply that Kindle was given a $10,000 bond and posted it (it does not explain how). He did not use a bail bondsmen, cash or property; rather, he was allowed to sign a document stating he would pay $10,000 to the state of Maryland only if he were to fail to appear for court.

So what are the possible reasons Kindle was given this luxury over most people who are arrested on similar charges. During the arrest, it was noted that he was driving a vehicle with Texas tags. This would signify to a commissioner that he is a potential flight risk. He was also well above the legal limit, he very easily could have hurt somebody on the road that morning.

However, due to his professional athlete status, he is not considered a flight risk or a danger to the public. If he wants to hang on to his spot in the prestigious NFL he will certainly appear back for court and make sure something like this doesn't happen again. To force somebody like Kindle to use a Howard County Bail Bondsman would be pretty ludicrous for these reasons.

Baltimore Bail Bonds Company Big Boyz Bail Bonds is proud to announce that as in years past, we will stay open on all of the major holidays. We were up and running on Turkey day and plan on keeping our services available on Christmas and even on New Years.

Many bail bonds companies in Baltimore advertise that they stay open 24/7 but that is hardly the case. Even on non-holidays you may find your near-by bondsman has a note on his door that says more or less, "I don't want to be bothered - go call a legitimate company like Big Boyz." Rest assured you can know that Big Boyz Bail Bonds will never do something like this. Our doors will remain open to the public that wish to inquire about our rapid bail bonds services.

This is a time of year that we hope family and friends can come together, enjoy the holidays, and stay out of trouble, for the most part. However, Big Boyz Bail Bonds knows that anything is possible on any given day (even the holidays) and that is why we are here to help.

We know that nobody wants to be arrested for the holidays and most people don't want to work on the holidays either. There are many bonds companies that will lie to potential clients and tell them that jails and court houses are shut down for the holidays so bails cannot be posted. This is not the case! Be sure to call a reputable bail bonds company to obtain correct information in regards to bail this holiday season.

From everyone at Big Boyz Bail Bonds we hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday season!
