Signature Bond Defined, By Bail Bondsman in Long Beach Ca

This Portion is written by All American Bail Bonds Customer Service @ 866-743-8688

The second part of Bail Bonds Terms defined.

We will give those interested a brief definition of what the term "Signature Bond" means.

A signature bond is basically a bond written with no collateral.
Instead, a good signer (indemnitor) whose guarantying the bond.
It should be mentioned that a signature bond may also be called a no collateral bond.

The following are answers to a few questions received during a recent focus group on Bail Bonds

Q.
Do all companies offer signature bonds?

A.
No.
We have found that most of the larger companies do write signature bonds but their requirements and limitations usually vary.

Q.
What are the most common requirements for a signature bond to be written?

A.
We can only speak for our company; our requirements always vary depending on the dollar amount of the bond as well as the charges that the defendant is being charged.

We at All American Bail Bonds will often look at employment, credit or a combination of the two to determine if a signature bond is to be approved.

Off the record:
Being an agent myself for a couple of years with this company I can tell you that All American Bail Bonds follows a strict guideline “If You Work You Bail,” as the saying goes. As a larger company dedicated to customer service and promoting a positive image of the bail bonding industry All American Bail Bonds will do everything within reason to get your bond approved without any or very little collateral.

Q.
Can the person in jail (defendant) qualify for a signature bond himself without the additional help of anyone else?

A.
This is a tough one to answer with a yes or no; in order for the defendant to qualify with a signature bond only, we would have to look at not only the charges but as well as the defendants criminal history, job history, and credit history.

It should be noted that All American Bail Bonds will usually avoid writing a signature bond only when there are no other individuals or collateral involved in the security of the bail bond. The company has approved these types of bonds but normally will look for other signers.

Q.
With Signature Bonds can we still do payment plans if the full percentage is not an option?

A.
Yes,
All American Bail Bonds prides itself on its policy of the “bail now pay later” program.

Of course in order to qualify for a signature bond with no money down the company will require solid co-signers whose good name will be used to guarantee not only the bail premium but as well as the full face value of the bond.

We hope this information has been helpful, as the days go by we will continue to write additional blogs to better help the public understand the bail bond industry.

Bond Exoneration Document Defined, By Bail Bondsman in Long Beach

It has come to our attention at All American Bail Bonds that there are many terms in the bail industry that people are unclear on, such as “bond exonerated.”

The following information was put together to help clear up those questions, please enjoy!

When you bail someone out through a licensed and accredited bail bondsman there will be certain things required of you to present to the bonding company once the defendants case has been concluded. The most important item you will be required to produce will be the bail bond exoneration certificate. The bond exoneration form may have more than one name. For example, some may call it “a certificate of discharge” as well as bond exoneration document, or you may be able to get a certified copy of the minute order. Whichever one of these forms you choose to get it needs to be certified by the court clerk, and it has to include the bond number, name of the bonding company as well as the surety. This form is the official court document that shows that the liability of the surety and the bonding company for the bond written has ended.

Please note: It is common practice for bail bonding companies to charge a fee of up to $250 for sending an agent to pick up the document from court. Every company that we have spoken with has told us that they have some fee written into the contract for those individuals who fail to obtain the document themselves. It should be mentioned that if you have hired private council (attorney) they themselves may obtain all necessary document from the court clerk’s office.

Below are some common questions that we have received in a recent focus group:

Q.
Why do we (client) have to produce the document?

A.
Bail Bonding companies are in an essence using someone else’s money (surety or insurance company) to guarantee the full face value of the bond. When the bond gets exonerated the surety requires the bonding company to send in the certificate of exoneration to remove the liability from their name. Especially, when you have collateral, the surety will not release the collateral until they receive the exoneration of bond.

Q.
Where do we (client) get the exoneration of bond document?

A.
The exoneration of bond document should be obtained from the criminal clerk’s window in the courthouse to which the case was heard.

Q.
If we (client) are willing to pay the additional fees can we just let the bonding company pick up the required document for us?

A.
Yes! The document required is a public document and anyone can pick it up, including your bail bondsman.

Q.
What if I (client) don’t pick it up what will happen to me?

A.
You will be charged a fee and if you fail to pay, then your file will go into collections.

Please Note:
If there is collateral for the bail bond, it will not be returned until the exoneration has been received, and of course all fees have been paid.

What if I bail someone out, Things you should know before using a bail bonds service, By Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles

We at All American Bail Bonds decided to write this article after we received similar questions from a group of people we spoke to during one of our question and answer focus groups. The people we spoke to have all bailed out loved ones in the past, some have used our services, others our competition such as Aladdin, Absolute and Lipstick Bail Bonds just to name a few. We took all the questions we received and put together this small blog entry to help address the public’s most important questions on bail.

Q. 1.
Why do we have to put up collateral and if we do why do we have to sign a deed of trust?

A.
Collateral is not always required!, Being a larger more active company we have compiled history of good and bad bail. We have found that through proper negotiating we have been able to secure many of our bonds without the requirement of collateral. Many of the smaller bonds we may write will often not need collateral and are written as a “Signature Bond.”

For those bonds that we find are of a higher risk we may require collateral in the form of a pink slip or real property. If real Property is taken we the Bail Bonding Company will require a Deed of Trust, for the deed of trust is how we secure the bond itself ensuring that our investment in the bond is guaranteed.

SIDE NOTE: If a deed of trust has been taken as collateral you are basically putting up a property (home) as a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court each and every time. If the defendant fails to appear in court and we, the bonding company, are unable to locate the defendantto get him back to court then you may lose your property to cover the face value of the bond written plus all applicable “bounty hunting” fees or legal cost.

Q. 2.
If I put my property up as collateral and a lien is placed on said property, how do I have the lien removed?

A.
Once the defendant completes his/her court obligations and the bond is “Exonerated,” you will be required to go to the courthouse, clerks window and get the exoneration of bond document or a certified copy of the minute order showing that the liability to the bail bonding company has been concluded. It is your responsibility to get the form to your bail bonding company and request for the lien to be removed.

Please Note:
The bonding company will NOT remove the lien until they have received the OFFICIAL verification the bond has been exonerated; also the bonding company may require an additional fee before they can remove the lien, “lien removal fee.”

Once the exoneration of bond has been received and all contractual fees have been paid you will receive a “Full Reconveyance” usually within 30 days.

Please Note:
We at All American Bail Bonds have found that we could send out the reconveyance usually in less than 7 days.

SIDE NOTE:
A common misconception we heard within our focus group was the belief that once the bond is exonerated we receive our money back for the bond, this of course is incorrect.

The bail bonding company does not receive its money back once the bond is exonerated and even if the case is never filed the person who guarantees the premium is still responsible to pay the remaining balance until Paid off.

Q. 3.
What are the legal percentages that a bonding company may charge and can they negotiate whatever dollar amount that they want?

A.
First of all, the lowest legal limit that a bonding company may charge is based on their surety's filed rate with the California Department of Insurance. What we have found, here in California, the lowest legal limit is 8%and the maximum one can charge would be 15% up to $10,000, and not over.

For the most part, the maximum you will find will be no more than 10%, if you are charged a greater bail premium than 10% you should contact the department of insurance immediately.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Bail Bond business is a cash business and and with any cash business you will find “shady” companies.
If you find yourself in need of bail and you come across someone walking around a local jail or court facility offering to “discount” a bail bond, charge less than 8% which is the lowest legal limit, then we advise you to be very cautious and ask for their bail license and the name of their company. What we have found is that there are many individuals around local jail and court facilities who do offer illegal discounts who are not even licensed bail agents and in fact are no more than crooks themselves trying to steal from the unaware or naive.

PLEASE NOTE:
Never exchange cash in public unless you feel 110% confident that you are dealing with a licensed and accredited bail agent. We are seeing more people trying to steal from clients who are in need of a bail bondsman and are not properly educated on how bail works.

Q. 4.
What happens if the person I bail out “fails to appear” and the bonding company is unable to find him/her, the “fugitive?”

A.
In California if a bail bonding company is unable to locate the client within a maximum of 360 days from the forfeiture of the bail bond, the bail bonding company will have no other option but to pay the court the full face value of the bond written plus all applicable court anfd legal fees.

PLEASE NOTE:
The court will charge additional fees on top of the forfeited dollar amount!

If the bail bonding company is forced to pay the bond amount, plus fees, you the guarantor of the bond will be charged in turn for all fees that you have contractually guaranteed.

All American Bail Bonds has been conducting business for many years and never once have we not received full compensation for a forfeited bond that written correctly.

PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE GUARANTEE OF A BAIL BOND UNLESS YOU ARE A 110% PERCENT COMFORTABLE THAT THE ARRESTEE WILL APPEAR IN COURT EACH AND EVERY COURT DATE, OR MAKE DARN SURE THAT YOU CAN FIND HIM/HER.

Now the above four questions might seem like common knowledge to some, but what are home work shows is that the average “good citizen” doesn’t have a real good idea of how this whole crazy bail process works.

SIDE NOTE:
To all the bail agents, no.……Bail Bondsman out there, we not only have a legal responsibility to the people that rely on us for the bailing out of their loved ones, we also have a moral obligation to do the “wright thing.”

I, no name necessary, have been writing bail for a lot of years, and I have met any number of good honest bail bondsman, and unfortunately have met more dishonest bail bondsman than honest. I have seen more shady bondsman and more shady going-ons’ and heard more horror stories than I would like to admit. We at All American Bail Bonds as a Bail Bonding Company have made multiple attempts to improve our industry and still have our fingers crossed that we the good guys can work together to rid Los Angeles of all those “bad Actors.” I guess we’ll just keep on trying!!

Reasons a Bail Bond may be Revoked, by Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles, CA.

Recently we at All American Bail Bonds were forced to revoke a bail bond on a client who was bailed out by our company. While the agent was at the courthouse he was approached by some individuals who themselves were out on bail through other local companies. The individuals were questioning as to why we revoked our clients bond and were concerned that their bonds may be revoked as well. In hearing this we felt concerned that maybe there are individuals who are out on bond who don’t quite understand the complexity of what they have agreed.

Yes, it is written in the Constitution of the United States that you have the right to bail, but it is not written that once on bail you have the right to stay on bail. Let me explain the Constitution does give you the right to bail out but you still are obligated to abide by the companies policies as well as all Federal, State, and Local laws. Think of bail as an extension of jail and the bondsman as your jailor, when you’re on bail it is the bondsman’s responsibility to not only get you back to court but also keep you in line. Each bail company may have its own set of policies which you agree to in writing upon release, but all companies have the same general policies. The following are All American Bail Bonds policies for those out on bail. You may find that your bonding company has many of the same, if not all of the same policies.

1. Appear in court, on time, Each and Every Court Appearance until Bond is EXONERATED.

2. Follow all Laws.

3. You may be required to check in on a daily or weekly basis.

4. If you change address you must notify us within in 24 hours. This can be informal such as a telephone call, but you may want to put it in writing as to protect yourself.

5. If your contact numbers change you must notify us within 24 hours. Once again, this can be informal such as a telephone call, but you may want to put it in writing as to protect yourself.

6. If we attempt to contact you and are unable to do so you must contact us back as soon as possible. We will make every reasonable attempt to contact you including but not limited to:

Phone Calls

Text Messaging

Emails

Letters (Certified and U.S. Mail)

Going to Addresses listed

It is rare that we have to contact clients, so if we try, it is imperative that you contact us back!

7. The indemnitor or Guarantor request, in writing, that we do so. This is normally the case when the indemnitor feels that the defendant out on bail is not abiding by the agreed upon requirements.

8. Any additional Court Requirements to be stated by the Judge.

Now the above listed are reasons that a bail company may revoke a bond, the following is a reason that a bond MAY NOT be revoked.

1. NON-PAY. Yes, it is not an acceptable (the word "illegal" has been removed) for a bonding company to revoke a bail bond when any amount of the bail premium has been paid. If the defendant or indemnitor fails to make any payments it turns into a civil matter and can be handled with any form of LEGAL collection method.

If it is found that a bonding company revokes a bond for non-pay than they may be ordered to return the entire paid premium and may possibility held to answer to their local licensing agency, in California it is the California Department of Insurance.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A BAIL BOND GETS REVOKED?

When a bail bond gets revoked it must be noted that there may be additional costs involved and per the contract those additional fees can and most likely will be passed to the financially responsible parties. Yes that’s right, If a bonding company legally revokes a bail bond they can go after anyone who signed the contract. We as a company have had to revoke bonds and have passed all cost to those who signed.
Bail Bonding companies are businesses and no one works for free, that includes those individuals who work for the companies, they must be compensated for their service, and there are often additional court cost that must be paid as well.

IN CONCLUSION.

We at All American Bail Bonds know there are many shady bail bonding companies out there, but were not one of them.

We are not the run of the mill company who will write any bond without the considering liability or “risk”. When legitimate companies write bail they are in a sense putting up their own money and assets. If you are considered a high risk client, than expect for your bail bonding company to want to keep an eye on you, this is the nature of the business!

If you feel that you have been treated unfairly by your bail bonding company than contact the licensing agency in the state in which the company operates.

Long Beach Police Department positions to be saved! By Bail Bondsman in Long Beach

Long Beach- A dozen or more positions could be saved from the up to 76  possible that could be cut do to a city budget crisis.

During a meeting of the City Council's Budget Oversight Committee at City Hall, Director if Financial Management said that the cutting the proposed Long Beach Police Department academy for the 2011 year could save the city $1.5 million dollars.

4th District Councilman Patrick O'Donnell said "The proposition of laying off and then three months later starting an academy is darn foolish." Councilman Patrick O'Donnell is a member of the committee along with 3rd District Councilman Gary DeLong and 2nd District Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal.

Lori Ann Farrell, who is the Director of Financial Management said that more than 20 Police officers could

potentially be laid off because of planned cuts to help eliminate an $18.5 million general fund deficit.


Braden Phillips who is the Bureau Chief of  Police Administration Bureau  said that he didn't yet know exactly how many positions the $1.5 million would save, but that likely one sergeant and 11 police officers would be preserved.


City Manager Pat West's proposed budget calls for "Plan A" cuts and more draconian "Plan B" cuts, which would be necessary only if city employee associations don't agree to freeze their pay.


Plan B appears to be a growing certainty, especially for the police, whose association president has said officers aren't going to forgo their pay raises. Mayor Bob Foster told the Press-Telegram Tuesday that Plan B cuts "are going to go ahead" without contract concessions.


The Plan A police cuts would eliminate 27 sworn police positions, which are all vacant, and outsource school crossing guards, along with a few other cuts to save $3.8 million.

The Plan B police budget would cut 44 patrol officers and five patrol sergeants and their vehicles to save $6 million.

The $1.5 million police academy funding had been placed among the Plan B reductions to give the council another savings option, but it isn't necessary to make up for the police officers' pay raises, Farrell said.

This article was originally posted on 9/08/10 by the Press Telegram, We at All American Bail Bonds felt it was relevant to our commitment to post information on Bail Bonds and Law Enforcement.

BAIL BONDSMAN ACTING BADLY, RIVERSIDE BONDSMAN CHARGED, BY BAIL BONDSMAN IN RIVERSIDE

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.

If you are in need of a bail bonding service in Riverside Ca or any other county in Southern California please contact All American Bail Bonds @ 866-743-8688, You can Also visit our web site at http://allamericanbailbonds.net/ .

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

No Bail for Lindsay Lohan, she has been sentenced to 14 days in Los Angeles County Jail in Lynwood, From Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles and Lynwood

                                                        Lindsay Lohan is expected to be released from a Lynwood jail on Aug. 2, serving only 14 days of her 90-day sentence, according to a Sheriff's Department booking document.

The information listed on the public website is based on a an approximate time based on the severity of her charges and previous criminal history.Some news agencies have reported the normal amount of time is approximately 25%, but in our experience the norm is about 10%.
The booking document lists Aug. 2 as the "projected release date." A Sheriff's Department spokesman could not immediately reached for comment. It's possible Lohan could serve more time because judge ruled out work release or electronic monitoring in the probation-violation case.

[Updated, 3:10 p.m.: Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Lohan could possibly serve only 13 days in jail instead of 14.

"Her projected release date is Aug. 1 or Aug. 2," he said, explaining that information initially posted on the sheriff's inmate information website was based on one 30-day sentence because a clerk missed Lohan's other two 30-day sentences.

The website was changed to reflect Lohan serving 51 days after factoring in time for good behavior. As a nonviolent female inmate, Lohan is eligible to serve only about 25% of the 51 days because of overcrowding, which brings the final figure to 13 or 14 days, Whitmore said.]

Officials said Lohan was completely cooperative when she was looked into the Century Regional Detention Facility on Tuesday morning.

After the booking, Lohan entered the jail's triage, where she was to receive a standard medical and psychological evaluation, Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told media members gathered outside the jail.


State guidelines for handling prisoners would apply to the actress, although "people with notoriety are kept away" from the general jail population for security purposes, he said.

At the Beverly Hills courthouse where Lohan surrendered shortly after 8:30 a.m. to begin serving her time, her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said the actress had completed court-ordered alcohol education classes and accepted her jail term.

"She is scared, as anyone would be, but she is resolute," Holley said. "She asks for prayers and support. ... She has accepted responsibility."

Although earlier there had been confusion over which attorney would represent Lohan in court, Holley said Robert Shapiro, who at one point had said he was Lohan's new attorney, was only a consultant to the actress.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Judge Marsha Revel last month sentenced Lohan to 90 days in jail for violating probation on a drunk-driving conviction.

Deputy Dist. Atty, Danette Meyers, who prosecuted Lohan, said the sentence was "was appropriate in this case."

"The message to the public is don't drink and drive," she said. "If you do drink and drive, and you're punished for it, complete the programs."

Orange County Bail Bondsman Killed, From Bail Bondsman in Orange County and Newport Beach

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – The owner of a bail bonds business died after he was shot by another man at least once at a home here in an upscale neighborhood, Orange County Sheriff's officials said.

A little before midnight Saturday, a man who authorities later identified as Dean Patrick Maldonado was shot by a 51-year-old man who was a guest at a home on the 21300 block of Stonetower Drive, Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said.

Maldonado, 49, runs Maldonado Bail Bonds in Newport Beach.
Amormino said Maldonado was an acquaintance of the woman who owns the two-story home. The 51-year-old was inside the home with the woman when Maldonado came into the home through a rear sliding door. Some time afterwards, the shooting occurred, Amormino said.
Maldonado died at the scene.

It's unclear, however, what led up to the shooting and the investigation is ongoing, Amormino said. Investigators are still at the scene and in the midst of sorting out what happened and have held off on making any arrests for now, he added.

Maldonado's daughter Megan Maldonado said Sunday that the home her father had visited in Rancho Santo Margarita belongs to his girlfriend.

Property records show that the home belongs to Linda Sprowl, who is also known as Linda Shaw-Sprowl, a fitness trainer in Trabuco Canyon.

Reached by telephone on Sunday, Sprowl declined to comment.

"I'm not available at the moment," she said before hanging up.

In a telephone interview, Megan Maldonado said that she doesn't know the details of her father's death. However, she did say that her father was a very positive person.

His Facebook page shows several inspirational phrases such as "If You Don't Like Something Change It; If you Can't Change It, Change the Way You Think About It," which he wrote on his wall on Tuesday.

Megan Maldonado said her father was the type of person who struck up conversations with just about anyone.

"He would meet a waitress at our table and have a full on conversation with her," she said.

Maldonado, a father of three children, was a bodybuilder who loved fitness and the beach, said Megan, who is his oldest child.

"The beach and his kids were his life," said the 24-year-old. "He loved life and enjoyed everything. We were his life."

Maldonado's Bail Bonds Facebook page describes Maldonado as single Newport Beach resident.

His last Facebook entry was Thursday when he wrote "I'm a Sucker for Love."

NO BAIL FOR PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED MAN WHO STRUCK AND KILLED BICYCLIST, FROM NEWPORT BEACH BAIL BONDSMAN

NEWPORT BEACH — An Anaheim man involved in a fatal collision with a bicyclist has a history of being ticketed for driving without a license and was previously deported by immigration authorities, police said Friday.


Jose Luis Huerta Mundo, 38, was being held in Orange County Jail without bail after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials ordered that he be held for possible deportation proceedings.

Court records show that in 1999, Mundo was convicted of driving with a suspended license and not having proof of insurance. In 2002, he was convicted of not having his license on him and a year later, for not having his vehicle registered. He was convicted two more times of driving without a license, in 2005 and 2006.

Mundo, a landscaper, was detained by Newport Beach police Thursday morning his truck collided with bicyclist Michael Nine, 43, of Santa Ana. Mundo was driving a white Chevrolet stake bed truck that collided with Nine, who was riding his bicycle near Spyglass Hill Road and Harbor Ridge Drive. Nine died from his injuries, and police are investigating what happened.

Federal authorities would not say if and when Mundo was previously deported, but a record of a past deportation showed up when officers verified his identity at the police station, said Sgt. Evan Sailor.

The area is frequented in the morning by cyclists who coast down the swerving, downhill street.

This was the third fatal bicycle-vehicle collision here in less than a year.

Darryl Benefiel, a 43-year-old bicyclist from Newport Beach, was killed July 23 in Newport Coast. Donald Murphy, 49, of Irvine, died from injuries Dec. 9 when he was rear-ended on Jamboree Road.

After Benefiel's death, the city created a task force to study bicycle safety in Newport Beach. The task force came back to the council in May with a list of recommendations to improve bicyclist safety and drivers' awareness of bike riders in the city.

Group members consider Thursday's crash a wake-up call to the city to do something about bicyclists and drivers, especially in popular biking areas like Corona del Mar and the Balboa Peninsula.

"I'm not sure anything we discussed in the task force would've prevented this," said group member Daniel Murphy. "Anytime a bike and a car tangle, unfortunately the car is going to be the victor. I do think what it does is bring back into focus how important bike safety is. Hopefully it'll jump start discussions."

Task force member Tony Petros agreed.

"Each situation has to be evaluated on its own merits," Petros said. "Right now we don't know whose fault it is. We don't even know if there's fault to be assigned."

He said the city could add street signs warning drivers about bicyclists, or add bike lanes among other things. But the city can only do so much, Petros said.

"We can plan and design but no amount of planning and design can mitigate the individual," he said. "Unfortunately, good planning and design can always be trumped by the individual, be it the cyclist or the motorist."

$1,000,000 Dollar bail for women accused of Killing Model, From Bail Bondsman in Santa Monica

A Camarillo woman was charged Monday in the slaying two years ago of an aspiring model who was found dead in her Santa Monica condo.


L.A. County prosecutors formally charged Kelly Soo Park, 44, in the killing of 21-year-old Juliana Redding.

Park's roommate, Ronnie Wayne Case, also was arrested by Santa Monica police detectives, but the district attorney's office declined Monday to charge the 34-year-old, pending further investigation.

Authorities remained tightlipped about Park's connection to the slain model, or any potential motive, saying that detectives may still be tracking other suspects. How she was connected to the slaying two years later remained unclear.

The arrests were made last week in Camarillo, said Santa Monica police Sgt. Jay Trisler. Park was scheduled to be arraigned Monday on one count of murder in Los Angeles.


Redding's slaying set off shockwaves in the affluent neighborhood around Santa Monica Boulevard and Centinela Avenue, where rent for one-bedroom apartments can exceed $2,000 a month.

The Arizona native moved to Los Angeles to pursue work as an actress and model. Her photo appeared in Maxim magazine's Hometown Hotties feature.

Along with modeling gigs, she worked at a Venice tapas bar. Police were dispatched to her condo after her mother called from Tucson to tell them that her daughter had not been returning phone calls. Redding's body showed signs of physical assault.

Santa Monica police said they devoted "thousands" of hours to the investigation, working in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies and the FBI.

Park, who was arrested without incident, faces 25 years to life, if convicted. Records show she held a real estate license for a period and lived in Thousand Oaks before moving to Camarillo.

Anyone who knows the suspects or has information regarding Redding's death is asked to call police at (310) 458-8488.

Maywood Police Department to be no more, From Bail Bondsman in Maywood

Barely a year after promising to reform its chronically troubled police force, the city of Maywood announced Wednesday that it would disband the 60-member department effective June 30.

City officials said the closure was caused by the city's loss of insurance. Earlier this month, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority notified Maywood that it was terminating general liability and workers' compensation coverage because the city posed too high a risk. An excessive number of claims filed against the Police Department, and the city's failure to hire a permanent city manager, were among the highest risk factors, according to the agency.

"We don't have an alternative," Councilman Felipe Aguirre said "Nobody will insure us, not as long as we have the Police Department, even though we haven't had any claims filed against us recently."

The City Council will meet Monday to discuss what happens next — whether the city will contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department or the city of Bell for police services.

The Maywood-Cudahy Police Department patrolled a gritty, two-square-mile area that includes Maywood and Cudahy, which has a population of about 70,000 — almost half of their residents undocumented — just south of Los Angeles. Until recently, the force appeared to function as a virtual refuge for misfit police officers. Although the city instituted numerous reforms under a year-old consent decree, officials said it was still too early to say whether the department had successfully turned itself around.

"It's hard to accept," Police Chief Frank Hauptmann said. "I really felt we made that turn … and to find that it ended this way makes it difficult for the members of the department and community members who supported the Police Department."

In April 2007, the California attorney general's office launched an investigation into the department after the Los Angeles Times reported that roughly a third of the department's officers had been forced out of previous police jobs or had brushes with the law.

The attorney general's report concluded that the department was "permeated with sexual innuendo, harassment, vulgarity, discourtesy to members of the public as well as among officers, and a lack of cultural, racial and ethnic sensitivity and respect." The probe also found that officers routinely used excessive force, made arrests without probable cause and failed to investigate complaints.

As a result of that probe, the city approved a stipulated court order to reform the department. Among other requirements, the department was directed to install video cameras in the police station and in police vehicles. Officers also were required to carry digital recorders on patrol.

On Wednesday, the attorney general's office said the department had gone 11 months into a reform process that was expected to last three years. "While progress has been made over the past year, the Maywood Police Department is still in the early stages of reform," said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown.

The Maywood Police Department also patrolled Cudahy, although tensions had grown between the two cities. Maywood officials say their decision to disband the Police Department will not leave residents of the cities unprotected.

For several months, Maywood has been considering a plan to create a joint law enforcement agency with neighboring Bell. In a recent interview, Bell Police Chief Randy Adams said his force was ready to assist.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has been contacted by Maywood officials, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Talks about the possibility of contracting with the Sheriff's Department to take over policing in the city were informal, Whitmore said. There have been no specific negotiations over costs or timelines, he said.

"If Maywood would lose its ability to have a police force, we would certainly be there to fill in," Whitmore said.

Compton City owes $5.7 million to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, From Bail Bondsman in Compton

The city also owes $100,00 in late fees for failing to pay its bill, which calls into question whether it has enough money to go ahead with the council's plan to resurrect its own police force.
The city of Compton owes the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department $5.7 million for law enforcement services and an additional $100,000 in late fees for failing to pay its bill, authorities said.

Compton's financial problems come as the city plans to eliminate its contract with the Sheriff's Department and reorganize its own police force. The city already has put away almost $20 million for startup costs.

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Compton has ignored verbal and written requests from the department for payment. Of the more than three dozen cities that contract law enforcement services from the Sheriff's Department, Compton is the only one accruing late fees, Whitmore said.
Compton officials acknowledged that the city owes the money and will pay up, blaming the holdup on poor communication within the city bureaucracy. They also said the financial flap with the Sheriff's Department would not affect their plans of reactivating their own police agency.

Compton disbanded its local police force 10 years ago amid startlingly high violent crime rates, and tensions between elected officials and the old Compton Police Department.

Ever since, it has contracted with the Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services. During surges in violence, the sheriff has pumped extra resources into the community, often at no extra cost.

Sheriff Lee Baca expressed doubt that the city could manage its own department.

"What a city is doing today is a direct reflection of what they're going to do tomorrow," Baca said in a statement. "The city is not paying its bills today, how can it pay 20 million dollars or so for its own police department[?]"

Compton City Council members voted earlier this month to authorize the formation of an independent local police force, hoping to return a sense of pride and accountability to the city.

"We do owe them money and we will be paying," said City Manager Charles Evans. "It will have no impact on our ability to operate, run and maintain an effective police department, and we will do that."

Council members Yvonne Arceneaux and Willie Jones said the debt's existence had not been brought to the council's attention.

Critics of resurrecting the Compton Police Department say the debt puts into doubt the city's ability to complete the gargantuan task of forming its own police department.

"The elected leaders in the city of Compton are incompetent," said community activist Joyce Kelly. "I don't understand how we owe the sheriff millions of dollars, and there's still millions of dollars in holding to bring back the Compton police."

The debt dates to November, and includes general deputy services, along with extras, such as presences at the city's Christmas parade and other events. Late fees start to be applied after a two-month grace period, amounting to about 10% of the debt annually.

Whitmore said the department's concern existed before city officials voted to form their own police department.

"It's getting to the point where we are starting to get concerned," he said. "This is extremely rare to be this behind.... No other city, not even close."

Arrested, Fired L.A. County worker arrested in tax fraud case, From Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles

Trang Van Dinh of Glendale was detained after returning from Vietnam. Accused of using welfare applicants' information to seek $2 million in bogus returns, he had been indicted on multiple counts.

Federal authorities this week arrested a former Los Angeles County worker who allegedly used the personal information of more than 150 welfare applicants to file nearly $2 million in fraudulent claims for tax refunds.

Trang Van Dinh, a 62-year-old resident of Glendale, worked for the county for a decade and filed the returns in a desperate attempt to pay gambling debts, county auditors said.

Dinh was arrested Monday as he returned from a trip to Vietnam, two months after a federal grand jury indicted him on 11 counts of making false claims to the Internal Revenue Service and 11 counts of identity theft. If convicted of all charges, Dinh could face a maximum of 220 years in federal prison.

His arrest comes months after Dinh was fired from his county job after acknowledging wrongdoing in an interview with county investigators, said Guy Zelenski, chief investigator for the county auditor-controller. County officials spoke to Dinh after IRS investigators notified them of their suspicions.

"He thought he could pay the IRS back and he would have no problems," Zelenski said.

The IRS investigation found that Dinh used the names, Social Security numbers and other identifying information of more than 150 people in his caseload to prepare the fraudulent tax returns.

Dinh filed his returns electronically and sought to have tax refunds sent directly to bank accounts he controlled, according to federal prosecutors.

The returns sought about $1.9 million in refunds from the IRS, which had paid about $1 million of the fraudulent claims before discovering something was amiss. Although bank officials were able to freeze some of the funds, IRS officials estimate that Dinh got about $650,000 in fraudulent refunds.

Despite Dinh's apparent admission to county officials last year, it took time before the U.S. attorney's office was able to win an indictment against him. In the interim he was able to leave the country to travel to Vietnam.

It was unclear when investigators gave the case to the U.S. attorney's office. Once filed, it required approval from officials in Washington before an indictment could be sought from the grand jury.

"The bottom line is that he left the country before he was charged, and we really don't have the ability to stop a person from leaving the country simply because they are suspected of fraudulent activity," Assistant U.S. Atty. Angela J. Davis said. "The government absolutely prioritized the case."

BAILED OUT!, Former O.C. deputy arrested over car crash, From Bail Bondsman in O.C.

The Laguna Niguel man is accused of injuring a woman while driving under the influence of prescription drugs. The incident occurred March 1, when he was a member of the Sheriff's Department.

A former Orange County sheriff's deputy was arrested and charged Wednesday with injuring a 78-year-old woman in a car crash while driving under the influence of prescription drugs — his second auto accident of the evening, authorities said.


Allan James Waters, 36, of Laguna Niguel is accused of driving under the influence of the prescription drugs zolpidem and hydrocodone. Waters was off-duty at the time of the accident and is no longer with the department.

The incident began when Waters allegedly smashed into a vehicle in front of him that had stopped for a red light about 4:45 p.m. March 1 on Street of the Golden Lantern in Dana Point, prosecutors said.

Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's Department responded and released Waters and the other driver after taking a report. The deputies were aware that Waters was a deputy, according to the district attorney's office.

About seven minutes later, Waters allegedly began driving erratically on Golden Lantern and almost crashed into a passing motorist. Multiple drivers called 911 to report his driving, the district attorney's office said.

Waters then swerved into another car and smashed into the vehicle carrying the woman, authorities said. She sustained a back injury and later underwent surgery, the district attorney's office said.

Assistant Sheriff Mike James said deputies did not detain Waters after the first accident because he showed no "objective signs of intoxication" when he was questioned.

Deputies responding to the accident involving the woman called the California Highway Patrol. Waters allegedly showed signs of drug intoxication, including slurred speech, a lack of balance and trouble following directions.

As investigators launched their case, they began examining suspected drug-related activity by Waters.

Prosecutors said he met a friend after arranging to receive the prescription drugs Opana and OxyContin in exchange for money and cocaine. Waters is accused of providing the friend with a fake white powdery substance under the pretense that it was cocaine, according to the district attorney's office.

Waters is charged with one felony count of driving under the influence causing bodily injury and two felony counts of selling a substance in lieu of cocaine, with a sentencing enhancement for causing great bodily injury.

Allan Waters has been released on bail, we will provide more information as it relates to bail as we receive it.

REVENUE MANAGEMENT SERVICE, COLLECTION COMPANY OR FRAUD?

UPDATE 5-12-10


BELOW IS THE COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. MANY PEOPLE HAVE CALLED ME REGARDING MY NEGATIVE REVIEW AND THIS BLATANT LIE OF A REBUTTAL SAYS IT ALL, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THIS COMPANY HAS COLLECTED OVER $2,000 ON ONE ACCOUNT.

PLEASE REVIEW THEIR COMMENTS..

Company's Initial Response - Posted 05/11/2010

Jeff Chavez is grossly mistaken. The court hearing he is referring to was in a small claims court where an attorney is not allowed to attend. He was contact and was told we wouldnt be there and appropriate data would be sent in our place considering we couldnt attend a small claims matter. He was advised he could attend but was his choice. Jeff Chavez has grossly misread the case minutes and is completely mistaken on the course of events. There has been ZERO money dispersed from the bank levy and RMS is in receipt of NO monies from this case. Had he read the file or called he would have been advised accordingly.

Initial Response Summary

Jeff Chavez was advise to quit barating our staff and advised of the details of his case. He was instructed to contact Legal Affairs directly should he have any questions.
