Re: money owed to bails bonds man

The money requested by the Bailbondsman is to recover the costs incurred when your son jumped bail. These costs include the costs imposed by the court and the cost of tracking him down and arresting him. I seems unlikely that he can arrest him for non payment. However, he could be sued for that sum. The person who posted the bail and guaranteed the bond could also be sued. This could result in additional costs for him and the person posting the bail.

These charges are the result of his conduct. He should arrange to pay them.
