I recently received a phone call from someone in jail that I had found in Naples, FL and brought him back to MD. He was a check and credit card fraud artist and when apprehended, had a 3" thick stack of credit cards that he had not even activated yet! When we surrendered him to the jail, the detectives received an anonymous tip from who knows where
and they came out to the stolen motor home that we also recovered (separate revenue stream) and found the credit cards, the camera used to obtain data, the lap top he used to create identifications etc. This guy was also a bigamist and filed charges on his newest wife for stealing the above mentioned items that were in possesion of the detectives and they charged him with filing false charges. Long story short, she finds out he is still married to his first wife and gets the marriage annulled. He bonds out and runs to AZ where he starts running his same game. Enter Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the defendant's new home, one of Sheriff Joe's tent cities! I kept tabs on hiom and when hired by the next bondsman, got paid for causing the exoneration on all of his bonds by demonstrating that he is serving time in AZ. God I love this business! He gets transferred to OK at a contract prison and then is released approximately 5 years later. He came back home and caught a VOP and was back in jail when he called me. I laughed at him and proceeded to tell him every where he had been, and he wants to know what jailer is ratting him out and black listing him to the bondsmen...He is still clueless, and still where he belongs!Seriously, when making apprehensions, never tell them that you are the bondsmen as well as I truly believe that hunting and bonding under the same name cost me some business. The type of business I lost was probably business that I would not have written, but who knows?
