Your teens skips town after you paid their bail premium from charges that they were in a street race.
What happens now?
Your teen was arrested the day before on a D.U.I. with .08% blood alcohol content charge after they crashed into a light pole, putting their friend who was in the passenger seat in the hospital.
Your teen was charged with engaging in speed contests and was put in jail on $10,000 bail, so you went to All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita and paid a $1,000 premium to a bail agent because you couldn’t afford to pay the court all $10,000.
Later that day, you find that your teen has left town, afraid they will have to serve jail time if they appear for their court date.
“When something like this happens, the bail agent is put on the line for the full bail amount and is responsible for finding the defendant,” said Inessa Chavez, vice president of all American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita. “We then hire bail recovery agents who track down the defendant and bring them back to appear in court.”
Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita
When bail is posted to a judge, that money is given back to you once the defendant appears in court and completes their case. You don’t get your money back if the defendant doesn’t appear in court.
It works the same way when you use a bail agent.
You pay them the premium, 10 percent of the bail price, and they pay the bail for the defendant. The bail agent is out $10,000 or however much the bail price is if the defendant skips their court date.
“Our bail agents want to help you,” Chavez said, “But they also need to look out for themselves.”
All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita or whatever agency paid the bond will offer a reward for the capture of the defendant if they skip their court date. That’s when the bail recovery agents come in.
“We have a nearly 100 percent recovery rate at All American Bail Bonds,” Chavez said. “We almost always find the fugitive.”
Once the defendant is captured, they are brought back to jail where they wait until their next court date.
