Bountyhunting from home

Monday, March 30th, 2009

I decided to post this one.  There are ways of actually capturing fugitives without having to go out in the field. It doesn’t happen often so I decided to post a recent example of this.

Basically, this guy skipped court because of his alleged Violation of Probation warrant.  I managed to contact him by phone and asked him what he wants to do about his warrants. He tells me he’s gonna turn himself in within 3 weeks. I said thats ok and to keep in contact with me till he does so. So he does and of course the day comes and he doesnt do what he promised he would. At the time xmas was like 4 weeks away.

Soooooo…… I begin to call his family members, mother of his child, friends, everyone. I also tell him if he doesnt turn himself in to have me some presents to open cause me and 3 other bountyhunters are coming to his mommas house early xmas morning. I also make a few other promises which I’m not gonna release…hehehhehe.  The next day he turned himself in…lol…

I would of made good on my promise to show up xmas morning too… he did the right thing and surrendered like a man – eventually. The total bond recovered was $5,000. There are many ways to capture someone, and in this case I captured him with my cell phone while watching Family Guy.  Sometimes people just need a push. Not all bondjumpers are bad people but people in bad situations.  On a side note he was released from custody BEFORE christmas.

Viva la vegas!! Viva la fugitive recovery!!

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Ok.. here we go again… This guy skipped his trial date for an alleged Grand Theft. Sometimes I think people jump the gun and get scared thinking they’re going to prison when they’re actually not.  So I begin investigating this guy and find out he’s a huge gambler. Him and his wife were actually regulars on the local casino boats in St. Petersburg and Tampa. Unfortunately, no one had seen them for a few weeks.

Through some tricks of the trade I manage to get the fugitive’s cell phone number. From there, I manage to track that cell phone to Las Vegas, NV. I also learn he’s self contracting himself as a painter. So we place a call to him and contract him for some supposed painting work… hehehhehe. We find a vacant house and give him the address.

At about 8am, a truck pullls up to the house and out steps the fugitive!!! Due to some prior record and some other issues, he’s taken down at gun point and cuffed.  He’s then taken to the airport and flown back to Tampa, FL. From there he was then returned to the Pinellas county jail. After returning, his Grand Theft charge was reduced to a misdemeanor and he’s given 2 year prohbation.  Total bond recovered was $10,000.
