The Press Enterprise reported that on Wednesday Oct. 20th Damion Paul Perkins was arrested on suspicion of committing two felony charges, kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon. Damion Perkins who ran the riverside based Bail Bonds United, not to be mistaken with United bail bonds in Sacramento, has held a valid bail license since 3/16/2001. Perkins was hired in July to post bail for an inmate located in a Riverside facility. It has been alleged by the California Department of Insurance and The Riverside County sheriff that when the man was unable to pay his bail premium Perkins and an unnamed accomplice went to their clients house and demanded him outside at gun point in front of his family including his children. The client was placed in the back of the car and driven around while Perkins negotiated payment for his release. According to reports Perkins and the client were able to come to an agreement on payment and the client was returned home and released. The case was investigated by insurance officials and the Riverside Count D.A.'s office, which in turn file charges on Tuesday,Perkins is currently being held at the Robert Presley Detention Center in lieu of a $1 million dollar bail.
If anyone has any information related to possibly other criminal actions committed by either Damion Paul Perkins, United Bail Bonds of Riverside, or other employees or agents of United Bail Bonds of Riverside please contact the Riverside County Sheriffs Department.
Now on a personal note.
I have no doubt that this Bail Agent Damion Perkins negotiated a bail bond with an individual who was in custody. If your going to write bail on the word of the arrestee alone than you better make sure he or she can afford to pay.These foolish bail bondsman need to understand that writing bail with out a guarantee is unwise and will lead to loss. If these bail bondsman or as I like to say "bad actors" would wise up, we could work together to actually clean up the image of the bail bondsman.
