Police say the bounty hunter, who was investigating the Haleigh Cummings case, tried to revoke a man's bond. Willoughby Mariano | Sentinel Staff Writer 3:15 PM EDT, May 22, 2009 A bounty hunter trying investigate the disappearance of missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings was arrested today on false-imprisonment charges. William E. Staubs, also known as "Cobra," tried to revoke the bond of a man facing sexual-battery charges when he didn't have authority to do so, said Lt. Johnny Greenwood of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. (May 22, 2009) A bounty hunter trying investigate the disappearance of missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings was arrested today on false-imprisonment charges. William E. Staubs, 51, also known as "Cobra," tried to revoke the bond of a man facing sexual-battery charges when he didn't have authority to do so, said Lt. Johnny Greenwood of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. The incident took place March 20, after Staubs obtained a list of people out on bond in Putnam County in an attempt to perform his own investigation after Haleigh disappeared from her bed in February, Greenwood said. Daniel Everett Snodgrass, 55, who was awaiting trial in a sex battery case involving a child under 12, was one of them. Staubs called Snodgrass' bondsman to see if he had violated terms of his pre-trial release. Snodgrass had not, and the owner of Snodgrass' bail bond company warned Staubs not to pick him up, Greenwood said. Staubs pulled up to Snodgrass' Satsuma house anyway, Greenwood said. He activated a siren on his vehicle and used a loudspeaker to summon Snodgrass to him, witnesses said. The bondsman said he was revoking Snodgrass' bond, threw him onto the ground, handcuffed him and forced him into his vehicle. But the sexual battery suspect's bondsman said he didn't have the right to do that, and Snodgrass was released. "I guess he just tried to take the law into his own hands," Greenwood said of Staubs. Staubs is in Putnam County Jail being held on $5,004.00 bail. |

Here is a radio interview he did. It seems the person didn't want to be questioned, so he originally used the excuse of a bond revoke to detain him. Thing is, he contacted several bondsmen to see if they had bonded molesters, then used those files to track down and question people. Interesting concept depending on PI laws in FL, but doesn't follow the ones that don't allow bounty hunting. If what he admits about his actions is true, it doesn't seem he had the authority to detain the person. |

I have a few questions.... Do you all pick and choose who you post bond for? Would any of you have posted bond for this guy, even though he is lower than dirt, with a secured callateral in the amount of his bond? |

I wouldnt have bonded him. Im very concerned with who I release on my sig. I may not be legally responsible for their action while on my bond. Morally yes. |

Same here..I'm very careful as to who I bond out..alot are low risk, but you never know... I did a $50K with no collateral only becuase this guy was good friends with my buddy, and he has never missed a court date..I've taken collateral on $500 bonds..all depends on the situation... |

Every Bond written should be a case by case matter ever remembering that just, because one is "Charged" does not mean that he or she is "Guilty" If if were not for naughty (some, seriously naughty) people, we would not have jobs
