Bail Bondsmen Find New Orleans Felon

Two bail bondsmen from New Orleans flew to Montana Wednesday and arrested a fugitive who had been a roofer and construction worker in Great Falls since last September.

Michael Woods, who went by the name Cody Warren in Great Falls, is facing drug and home burglary charges in New Orleans, according to the National Crime Information Center.

He was free on a $60,000 bond when he left New Orleans, according to Shane Chedville, owner of a bail bonding company in suburban Gretna.

"He's definitely in Great Falls," Chedville said Wednesday morning. "I've talked to a guy he did construction work for, and I talked to a lady who had him on her roof as recently as last Saturday."

There was a $5,000 reward for Woods' capture.

"I've told him I'm willing to hire him an attorney and pay him the reward if he just does the right thing and turns himself in," Chedville said. "Because if I don't catch him by Feb. 16, I'm going to be out $30,000."

However, Chedville got a tip later Wednesday morning saying Woods was being hidden in a specific Great Falls residence.

"We searched the place, found him hiding in a hidden basement, dragged him out, handcuffed him and ran him out to the airport in order to catch our flight out of town," Chedville said in a phone interview from the Salt Lake City airport.

"As soon as he saw me, he said he was real sorry," Chedville added.

they are sorry because they are all human beings. they are not different than us. As a bondsman I believe that we need to help them change their live around.


I have a different opinion On this matter. I look at it as a bondsmen, If i get someone out of jail on my money an they fail to appear on my case. Then if I go after them and I found them, I sure anin't going to listen to them say I'm sorry. Cause all I'm going to say to them is " I'm sorry your going back to jail". Half of the people who get in trouble know what they did. So I anin't going to waste my time trying to change them....

No they made at least 2 mistakes that you should be aware of.

1) They did the crime they were arrested for. ( Yea I know innocent until proven guilty.)

2) They failed to go to court as promised.

Steve, you can have all the good intentions in the world to help people. But if you believe all their bad luck, not my fault stories that many of them will tell you, you will be out of busines real quick.

They have to earn your trust and respect first. Skipping court dooesn't do that.

I'm not in the business to rehabilitate anyone! I will help them take care of their court case. After that, if they are sincere and work at it themselves I will help with a referral for a job if I can.

A 2 minute lecture, group hug or prayer like the doggie did after his "captures" isn't going to do jack squat for a career criminal. Its great tv but thats not real life.

Don't know how long you're been in business but, trust me you will learn that everyone is capable of lying to you to get out of jail.

I believed in helping EVERYONE at first. It only took a few months to figure out that I was wasting my breath on most. Several have been picked up or charged for the same crimes I intended to help with. I now give the same speach to everyone..."Why did you miss...How do you think your friends and family feel about this...Hope some things change in your life so that you never have to see me again." Other than that, I have better things to do with my time, energy, and caring, than to lecture someone that has no reason to respect me. They just met me...and not under the best of circumstances....why whould they care about my advice? The SIQs respect for me (or lack of) has been proven to many times. There is none. I have more for them than they seem to have for themselves or me. So, I just save the lectures for my daughter. At least she listens....once in a great while :) .

Weasle, you always beat me to it. LOL

Yeah, I used to have compassion and think I could make a difference. It never works. I always got burned, notice the past tense. Whether it was hollow promises to pay or Ill go to court next time.

I look at it as a business now. I have to know someone VERY well before any favors or promises are taken or given.
