Bounty Hunter For Hire – Fugitive Recovery Stories

First off, sorry for not posting for awhile. Having a bail bond referral service is one thing… having one that gets CONSTANT calls for bonds all over the country is another. We successfully created the first nationwide bail bond referral service that actually works.

So back to the story… Just when I was having some free time to work on my side project this guy decides to skip court. Normally I could put it off for 4 weeks or so if it wasn’t um… a $110,000 bondskip!!! Then to add insult to injury, I find out this guy previously was sentenced to 25 years in prison back in 1991 for Attempted First Degree Murder and 5 years for escape.

So naturally I bond him on alleged Armed Burglary, Kidnapping, Aggravated Battery on a person over 65, Felony violation of probation.  Another agent and I go to his last known address. I knock and of course, no answer. I send the other agent to the back of the apartment and continue knocking and ringing the doorbell. After about 10 minutes of this I notice a car pull up and park in front of the apartment building. As soon as they park, I notice my fugitive step out of the car and walk to the trunk of the car.

I quickly rush him and in the blink of an eye get one cuff on, I then proceed to cuff the other hand and I notice a cast which is way to big to cuff. Two more people step out of the car and I don’t have him cuffed yet. Most cops would cuff him to his belt, however I’m not worried about the fighting, I’m worried about the running. I also look at him and notice that look in his eye. I know that look, the I’m outta here look!!!

So I’m standing with the cuff in my hand and need to figure something out very quickly. I did something I wouldn’t recommend and put the free cuff on MY wrist. No running now huh??  I quickly whisk him away to the car and take him to the county jail. He’s of course innocent till proven guilty. Total bond recovered was $110,000.

Also any bondsman who want bond referrals let me know, I don’t get paid till you do. I service most major cities and states. Thanks again….

After a few months in the business, and with the help of my web designer, I began trying alternative ways to market myself and my skills, while continuing to return something back to the industry. First, we created http://www.BountyHunterForHire.com which has become a huge success already, barely into its first year. We haven’t even begun to expand upon the possibilities with this site, it’s done just fine for us the way it is – but definitely look for LOTS more!

Skipping away from Fugitive Recovery for a bit, we wanted to focus on getting more bonds written. We realized that people in any city don’t normally know a name of a bondsman they want to search for, so they’re going to search for a “bail bond in THEIR CITY!

Initially, we tried http://www.BailBondsinClearwater.com and then http://www.BailBondsinTampa.com and both sites profited over $22,000 in the first 6 months of being active. We’ve teamed up again to create the All Estates Nationwide Bail Bond Network with a regional headquarters in nearly every city – we maintain the sites for each city and keep them right at the top of the search engines as part of the lease package. Lease details are available on each site and right now the rates are incredibly cheap considering the potential revenue these sites will generate in short order.

Currently, we’re seeking a trustworthy, established and well-respected bondsman in every city we have a website for (see below) to provide us a direct line right to them so we can send you all of the bonds that need written in each of these cities. All we ask in return is 10%, and believe me, you’ll get plenty of work. So much work, in fact, that you’ll find in just a few months you’ll actually make more money by leasing the site and avoiding the 10%. But if you’re hesitant to take on a lease, this is a great way to see just how much extra money you can make with no risk or up front investment!

Ok..sorry ya’ll, im swamped with work. Anyways I decided to put my very first capture i ever participated in. I was just new to the buisness and excited about getting in and arresting people. A feeling by the way that you lose VERY quickly.  So anyways i met up with the companys’  full time bondsman,we’ll call him JUAN. JUAN is a very cool guy. While other people may not like his style of hunting or think he pushes the envelope too far, I personally like him and think he’s a great bondsman. I can tell ya one thing, if I was a fugitive I’d prefer JUAN not be the one looking for me..lol.  So anyways we had a guy skip on a $25,000 bond. I met up with JUAN one night and we drove about an hour north of Clearwater.  We finally locate the house,which turned out to be just gigantic and very remote. JUAN calmy hops out and begins to arm himself. We were goin in so strong JUAN probably could of fought off a small group of al-qaeda.  So we approach the house and manage to wake up the residents. After about a 30 min. search of the home there is no sign of the fugitive. The next day comes and JUAN manages to find out about an appointment the fugitive has at a doctors office. So we go and set up. After only about 20 minutes a truck pulls up and out steps the target. JUAN  and I patiently wait for the target to finish up his appointment. As soon as he leaves the building ,JUAN goes flying in,jumps out and arrests the fugitive in the blink of an eye.  Total bond recovered was $25,000. Unfortunetly I cannot get a picture of this guy yet due to how long ago it was. Im working on it and will post it when i get a picture. On a side note to the bountyhunters and limited surety agents reading this , I am currently interested in leasing this website if your needing some xtra work. Serious inquiries only. thanks again.

Well here we are …another day in paradise.  This capture occured quite some time ago. Talking to this girl on the phone she seemed like a normal girl but looking at her record you would come to another conclusion.

We bonded her on alleged prostitution and driving on suspended license charges. Both of which are misdemeanors. No biggy right?? Naturally she decides to skip court. I just don’t understand people sometimes.. don’t skip on stupid stuff like this!!

Anyways… the co-signer had lost contact with her. I manage to do some digging around and hear that she’s allegedly at this mansion of a house where the residents allegedly make porn movies. I decide to set up for a bit and watch the house. It’s got some big windows and it’s pretty easy to see in for the most part.

About 30 minutes go by and I see the fugitive in the house. She appears to be the only one there. So I sneak in the back yard and enter the pool area. Sure enough there’s two people doin the shi-bangabang!! There’s 2 cameras on tripods filming it. I politely say excuse me and casually walk by them and slide the patio door open and enter the home. They both looked pretty shocked!! I walk in and arrest my fugitive without incident.

I did ask her if she was participating in the porn and she just said she was ONLY performing spankings and nothing more……total bond recovered was $2,500.

Ok..here’s another example of resolving your bond skips without apprehending the fugitive. Sometimes having some sort of leverage on the co-signer can put an end to things.

This guy skipped on a $5,000 bond. At one time he was charged with attempted first degree murder. That case was eventually dropped and I bonded him on an alledged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

I had some of his family as co-signers. They are originally from Albania.  So really all I had was a few addresses and knew he frequented a local strip club.  So I decide to go to all the addresses I had for him and the local police assisted but no sign of my guy anywhere. Being forced to hang out in the strip club he was a regular at also turned up nothing. Seems he up and vanished. So I decided to go to plan B.

I wait till its REAL late at night. I go pounding on the father’s door. I wake up the house. For legal reasons (hehe) I cannot reveal what was all said but lets just say I made some promises to his family that weren’t very nice. Sometimes the ONLY way to get things resolved is to get very nasty. These people need to realize this isn’t a joke and they need to pay this money or else.

So anyways after my little “talking to” the family came in the very next morning with $2,500 cash and two cars for me to sell to  get the other $2,500. Legally I cannot make money off the cars and the $5,000 would be returned to the family if the warrant is served. So if I had a lamborghini as collateral on this bond I could only sell it for $5,000.  I sold the two cars very quickly and paid the $5,000 to the courts. The defendant still has felony warrants for his arrest. Total bond recovered was $5,000.

This one certainly was a nice change of pace. One of our fellow bondsman in Texas had a lovely young bond skip here in the Tampa area working for an escort service.  Basically I set up an “appointment” with her at a local hotel. I responded via email with her quite a  few times.  She wanted pictures and references and where I worked, ugh too much. But anyways I successfully B.S. everything and our date was on!! woo hoo!!  lol.

So I had our meeting set up for 8pm. I ordered a lovely 5 hour session for $1,400. Yikes huh??  So I get to the hotel early. I have a few friends who are Police and they assisted. We were basically waiting for a new model white BMW to come in. So about 7:40pm I recieve a call from our fugitive. After some sexy talk she says she’s on her way. Naturally 8:30pm comes along and still nothing. Then all the sudden a white BMW pulls up and cop cars and bondsmans come from every which way but loose.

She’s quickly apprehended and arrested and transported to the local jail.  Along with having her husband in the car they also had a young boy with them..about 5 years old or so. Sad, sad people. Total bond recovered was $25,000.  I’ll give ya’ll a treat and put the link to her escort profile with additional pics…enjoy…..***edit 5/5/2009 – it seems as if the link has died…http://www.eros-tampa.com/files/hs-stacy132-stacy1.htm

Again, before I start… For those of you inquiring, yes we can send email notices when new capture stories are posted. Just send us an email and we’ll take care of the rest. Also, as long as I don’t get lazy, take a vacation or get killed, I will be updating this every 2 to 3 days. Thanks for your continued interest and support.

I’d also like to give a shout out to Dog the Bountyhunter who was shot at earlier this week trying to apprehend someone. It’s always those damn small bonds that almost kill ya sometimes, lol. I’ve been in ridiculous situations over small bonds sometimes.  Gotta love the Dog.

Ok….This one here was done as more of a favor than anything. This lady is the ex-sister in law of a very good friend of mine. So I bonded her on some supposed burglary and supposed possession of controlled substance charges. I didn’t really think anything bad would happen, even though her son did skip on a $60,000 DUI manslaughter charge on me. Out of respect to my buddy and the fact I think he was innocent I cannot post that capture. He’s probably an innocent kid in jail for the next 25 years.

Anyways, back to his mother… so for whatever reason she’s unable to WAKE UP for court and missed.  I go out the next morning pretty pissed off. I go and POUND on her door. Finally she comes to the door and comes outside. I go to place her under arrest and she begins to resist somewhat violently. I GENTLY put her over the hood of the car and cuff her up. I then transport her to the Hillsborough County Jail in Tampa, FL and as we’re walking in, she decides to stop walking!! What a pain in my ass! So I again gently kick her in the back of the knee and lift her arms behind her head and walk her into booking.  Geez. Total bond recovered is $12,500.

Before I start I’d like to ask my readers to please leave comments. I always like feedback and it’s fun for me to read your comments so please take 30 seconds after reading this and click on the comment link below the fugitives picture. Again, thank you.

Ok, This is an unexciting capture but for those of you trying to get in the buisness this story will give you some other alternatives to assist you in resolving your bondskips. Sometimes when people run they end up changing their minds but aren’t sure what to do from there. So I always suggest staying friendly to your skips, you can always get mean and nasty but there’s no going back from there.

So from what I gathered this fella was supposed to serve 6 months in the county jail. He for whatever reason decided to skip court and run to Texas. So about a month goes by and I manage to get his cell phone number. I give him a call and ask him what he wants to do about his warrant. He told me he wanted to come back but didn’t have any money. He told me he has 3 kids and wants to get this behind him.

I agree to purchase him an airline ticket and fly him back to Tampa, FL.  He flies in and I arrest him at the airport as he gets off the plane.  He’s returned to the Pinellas County Jail and later finished his sentence of 6 months with 70 days already credited.

So just a reminder to stay friendly and see if they’re willing to work with ya to resolve the warrant. Then if that doesn’t work then you get nasty. Total bond recovered $5,000.

First off… I want to say happy holidays to everyone on this 20th day of April.  Also I want to say hi to my friend Joe J.  Hope your doing well.

Well this next capture was one other (guy) agents love to help me out on.  Of course the girl we bonded out turned out to be an exotic dancer… or stripper as I like to call them.  Really all I knew was her stage name and that she’s working somewhere in the Clearwater area.

So the daunting and horrifying task of hopping strip club to strip club throughout Clearwater began.  For those of you new, don’t ever do this during the weekends… it’ll cost ya a fortune in cover charges, go on Tuesdays if you’re on the West Coast of Florida, or whenever there is no cover charge.

I started with the closest club and worked my way up the highway and back down the other side.  I’d say on about our 6th club, as soon as we walked in the door I spotted her dancing on one of the many stages.  To get a positive ID, I bought a lap dance from her.  As soon as I verified the butterfly tattoo on her left butt cheek, I told her she was under arrest.

Actually, I’m just kidding!  I went to the owner and told him what was going on and he quickly took her to the dressing room and handed her over.

cover charge-$10

Bond recovered-$1,000

Getting paid to hop strip clubs-PRICELESS
