Police say they arrested a Dondee Bail Bonds agent Friday for paying inmates in the Monroe County Jail to solicit bonds.
Jacqueline C. Canela, 50, is facing five counts of illegally soliciting bonds to inmates, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators were alerted to Canela when a man, who claimed she was his client, called to say she was performing the illegal activity. Investigators subsequently retrieved audio recordings from the jail's phone system and found evidence to support the claim, the MSO said.
Authorities say that if the inmate solicited the bond, Canela would reduce the inmate's own bond or would pay them through their jail accounts or family members.
The sheriff's office is also looking for Gyselle Venero, 22, who it says is wanted for illegally acting as a bond agent. Venero contacted a female inmate and said she was from the same bond company, according to police. Venero is neither licensed nor registered.
More arrests may be pending.
