Jumping Bail

A person I know bought a car from someone it turns out that the car was stolen. He got arrested.He called me to help get him out.I went to the bail bondsmen gave them $700.00 and put my house up to get him out.He got arrested under what he said was a fake I.D. .So I don't know what his real name is .But what I do know is that he is already running from me and I know for a fact that he has no intention on going to court.He was supposed to go to the bondsmen right when he got out of jail.Well he didn't go .He just made excuses and said he will be here in the morning .He didn't show up again. So called around looking for him all I got was B.S. So I went looking for him I found him for about 1 minute. When he saw me he took off running.I want to know if there is anything I can do like have the police go arrest him .He said it was a fake I.D. he got arrested with.Please let me know .He has a court date on 1/14/05 for stolen car.Thank you From a very upset person

Re: Jumping Bail

You should contact the bail bondsman and them you want his bai reovked. Also if you can find him have him arrested and taken to jail. If his bail is forfieted the bonding company will take your house to cover the amount of bail they have to pay. Move quickly in this matter. You have only a short time to have him arrested after bail is forfieted before you lose your house.
