"Anthony Oliver Goes to Jail on a Domestic Assault Charge
Apparently Tony Oliver has just gotten out of the Isanti County Jail in MN for domestic assault on his babies' momma, Crystal. He was locked up for SEVERAL days, despite having a $1,000 bail bond posted, because he had a No Contact Order levied against him as a result of the incident (which meant that he could not go back to Crystal's residence for the time being) and did not have an alternate address to give the jail for his release; this is also most likely why we hadn't heard anything from him for the last week of October.
He is out on bail and I wonder now if he won't run from the law there as well- this time however he will at least be out on bond and maybe one of the real bail recovery agents will be lucky enough to get to grab him. I have heard from sources that he mentioned trying to get back to Oregon.
I talked to his bondsman a couple of days ago at Midwest Bonding in Minnesota and he was shocked to read the blog about Tony. I am sure that he has all but resigned himself to losing the $1,000 bond he posted but did not sound too broken up about it.
As soon as I get his booking photo, I'll post it here for all to marvel over."

Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter Scammed by Tony Oliver
Sandra Scott called this morning and said that she had in fact been scammed by Anthony Oliver who was using a variation on the Bail Enforcement Gear scam.
In short:
Apparently, Oliver called Sandra using the name John Anderson trying to get a hold of an associate of hers; he indicated that he was in the military and only a couple of days away from being deployed to Iraq. Consequently he was trying to contact her coworker so that he could send him an Air Taser and some additional gear that he was prohibited from possessing on base and that he was having a hard time getting rid of it.
The conversation turned to him just sending Sandra the equipment but that he did not have the money to ship such a heavy box. Anthony said that the postage was going to cost approximately $120 and that he wasn't going to be paid before he was deployed so he was not sure how to get the shipment to her. Sandra offered to pay the freight charges.
She sent the money ($120) through Money Gram to a Walmart in Anoka, MN and of course has not received anything from Oliver.
Ms. Scott remarked that Anthony was extremely well rehearsed, seemed to know alot about the fugitive recovery business and had a lot of information about her coworker. That, coupled with the fact that Anthony never asked for money for the gear or the shipping, really sold her on his story.
She asked that I post the unfortunate circumstances regarding her encounter so that we continue to get the word out about this con artist and hoping that others will come forward as well.
Thank you Sandra, you are a credit to our industry.
