O.R.'d Illegal Carlos Montana kills Nun and injures others while driving drunk, From Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles


An illegal immigrant awaiting a deportation ruling has been charged with killing a nun and critically injuring two others in a drunken driving crash that has sparked criticism of how immigration enforcement is handled.

A local official in the Virginia suburb where the crash happened and a congressman from another state have criticized federal officials for not removing the suspect from the country after previous arrests, and even U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano questioned why his deportation was taking so long. A spokeswoman for the nuns' order, meanwhile, said they're upset that the tragedy is being politicized.

Twenty-three-year-old Carlos Martinelly Montano, who police say is illegally in the country, is charged with drunken driving, involuntary manslaughter and felony driving on a revoked license after the accident on Sunday in Virginia's Prince William County. Montano was arrested two times before and charged with drunken driving, according to county police, and has also been arrested in separate incidents for other traffic-related offenses. Police say Montano, who is from Bolivia, was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after at least one arrest, and a prosecutor said he knew of at least one other occasion he'd been referred to immigration officials.

The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that Montano was released in 2008, pending an immigration judge's review of his case. As of August 2010, a judge had not ruled on his deportation.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano called the crash a "terrible thing" when asked about the incident during an unrelated news conference at D.C. police headquarters Tuesday. Napolitano said she immediately asked officials to look into the situation.

"This is a horrible case," said Napolitano, whose department includes ICE. "Why is it that this individual was still out driving? He was in removal proceedings. Why were the removal proceedings taking so long?"

Prince William County's top elected leader and a Kentucky congressman, both Republicans, criticized federal immigration officials for not deporting Montano.

"As the facts surrounding this tragic case continue to come to light, I think it demonstrates the need for ICE to be more efficient and effective in their deportation duties," Kentucky Congressman Hal Rogers said in an e-mailed statement.

Corey Stewart, the chairman of Prince William County's Board of Supervisors, says the accident highlights the need for federal immigration reform. Stewart championed and implemented one of the nation's strictest county-level anti-illegal immigration policies. The local law requires that police inquire about the immigration status of all people arrested on suspicion of violating a state or local law. He says it's "extremely frustrating" that even with the county's policy, not all those turned over to ICE are removed from the country.

"We handed him over to the feds assuming he would be deported, but instead federal authorities released him back into the neighborhood and he killed a nun," Stewart said. "We feel like we are beating our heads against the wall."

A Catholic nun and spokeswoman for the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia says sisters of the three nuns involved in the accident have always stayed out of the debate over immigration. Sister Glenna Smith says the Catholic nuns have always provided social services _ including adult literacy courses and counseling _ regardless of immigration status, and they are upset the tragedy has become fodder for policy debate.

"The Benedictine Sisters are dismayed and saddened that this tragedy has been politicized and become an apparent forum for the illegal immigration agenda," Smith said. "It is not optional for us to choose mercy and forgiveness. We know this young man will be brought to justice, that's appropriate, and we hope he will learn to make better choices."

Montano's car crossed a median Sunday morning when it hit the car carrying three nuns, police said. Sixty-six-year-old Sister Denise Mosier was pronounced dead on the scene, and two other nuns _ Sister Charlotte Lange and Sister Connie Ruth Lupton _ were critically injured and remained in a hospital on respirators Tuesday, according to Smith.

It wasn't clear from jail records if Montano had an attorney.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, RESPECT BAIL BONDS APPEARS TO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW, FROM BAIL BONDSMAN IN ORANGE COUNTY

A bail bond agent has been arrested and charged with soliciting attorney referrals and inmate business in an illegal bail-bond referral scheme.

Ronald Lee Brockway, 50, of Seal Beach, was arrested early Thursday.

Brockway is accused of sending numerous e-mails to attorneys soliciting them to participate in an illegal bail bond scheme with his company, Respect Bail Bond.

In his messages, Brockway is also accused of suggesting that the attorneys refer bail bond business to him. He is also accused of offering to refer clients to the attorneys in order to "increase both of our earnings substantially."

He is also accused of unlawfully soliciting business from inmates by mass mailing flyers to the Orange County Jail.

California law prohibits bail bond employees from soliciting bail business from any inmate. The law also prohibits bail bond employees from recommending any attorney to any bail bond client, even if no money changes hands.

Brockway was being held on $50,000 bail Thursday morning. He faces a maximum sentence of three years and eight months in state prison. A date for his arraignment has not yet been determined.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, BAIL BONDSMAN ARRESTED FOR FAILING TO RETURN COLLATERAL, FROM BAIL BONDSMAN IN WHITTIER

A bail bondsman from Whittier was arrested Thursday for allegedly misappropriating $30,000 from a client, officials said.

Arturo Miramontes, 40, was charged with two counts of grand theft by embezzlement.

He is a licensed bail bondsman at Rodeo Bail Bonds in Whittier. A phone number listed for the business was disconnected.

Miramontes has a July 6 arraignment at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles.

In late 2007, the victim contacted Miramontes to secure a bail bond, giving the defendant $30,000 as cash collateral. The victim's court case was completed and his bail was exonerated.

Miramontes allegedly failed to return the cash collateral to the victim and allegedly embezzled funds from the insurance company for which he wrote the bond, said Shiara Davila-Morales, spokeswoman for the District's Attorney's Office.

He was booked at the Sheriff's Century Station, according to the sheriff's booking system. But it doesn't show if Miramontes posted bail.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, BAIL HOTLINE OFFICES RAIDED, BY BAIL BONDSMAN IN SAN BERNARDINO

Almost six months ago, on two seperate occasions, local private criminal attorney’s personally approached San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos with a complaint.
What was done about the complaints to Ramos? Nothing.
Why? The complaint involved supporters of the District Attorney.

The matter in question was written about in a story published here back in May.
The stunned attorneys eventually met with Third District Supervisor Neil Derry.
Now someone has finally intervened.

The issue? Bail Bond agents, who are political supporters of Ramos, were violating state law by improperly soliciting business. The agents in question were using improper solicitation practices by having inmates inside of county jail facilities refer them business. Such practices usually lead to intimidation of arrestee’s and a cornering of the local bail bond surety market.

Now the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and the State of California Department of Insurance have taken action. Search warrants executed last Thursday at Bail Hotline Bail Bonds in Rancho Cucamonga
is actually a Dba for McGuire Brothers Enterprises, Inc. located in Riverside.

McGuire is a strong supporter of Ramos.

The firm was previously located off Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino
