Fugitive Recovery Capture Stories

Hunting the Handicapped

I was enjoying my day off until the bail company came calling again. This lady had moved without notifying them and was bouncing from motel to motel. Her bond is $20,000 for an alleged aggravated battery with deadly weapon.

I grab the picture and file and head out to another LOVELY motel. It has 8 rooms. Nasty, nasty place. So to see if she’s inside, I call the motel and ask for room 4. The clerk tells me that his rooms have no phones!! That’s the place we’re dealing with here.  A true roach motel.

I decide to pull a classic trick that will almost always work. I knock on the door and yell “Maintenance”. For some reason that works all the time. She says hold on and then says come in. I walk in and she’s sitting on the bed. I explain to her what’s going on and cuff her quick. Then I glance over and notice a handicapped walker. I look at the toilet and it’s equipped with bars and other things. Turns out she can’t walk!!!! Little detail the bail company failed to mention. The other problem was , I had left my handcuff key back at their office some 15 miles away.

Now I have some lady who can’t walk and is handcuffed behind the back and that’s when she says ” I have to go to the bathroom”!! OH come on!! I hunt down a lady in the motel and make her help. After the defendant was done, I carry her VERY carefully to the truck. She screams and yells in pain when I put her in. Turns out she had major leg surgery and pins inserted. That’s why she couldn’t walk.

I get her over to the jail and try and get her out and as soon as her leg hit the ground she screamed and cried again. I put her back inside and called for the jail to bring some deputies out to assist me. They came out and basically toss her in a wheel chair and roll her in. She’s booked in and bond recovered is $20,000. On a side note, had I known she couldn’t walk and had all that surgery done, I would NOT have dealt with that. Too much liability. Just a thought for you newer bountyhunters
