All in all, Im glad im the SUPRA AGENT.
If I can't work for this company anymore, I'll definitely start my own!
goodnite to all. the streets are a little safer tonight.
You'd swear someone is messing with me. This one made me think twice about how glad i really am to be a bail enforcement agent.
I went to Gulfport to look for a parts car. I had a friend with me who was also looking for parts of his own.
just as i decided it was time to go home, the voicemail chimed in a new message.
it was an urgent message from an indemnitor. He got a call from the hospital. They said his employee was ready to discharge from the emergency room.
WTH?
here's the rundown: This person bonded out one of his employees, and then the SOB ran off with a bunch of equipment. I had been chasing this fugitive for 2 months now so I now it was now or never.
To save gas and time I called a fellow agent that was in the area to go pick him up. The dude was cool with that, but needed a pic, and definitely the warrant.
So off we went to find a fax machine before the fugitive vanished again.
after a search for fax services on the PPC we headed out.
The ladies at the counter were so helpful. they tried to fax the info, but the fax at the other end was not ready. I knew then that a trip north was inevitable.
So I asked my friend if he could come along. He thought i would never ask.
(little) john is 6'6" and weighs 280pds.
Big as he is, I don't want him getting hurt.
Off we go and i don't know how to get there. +1 for the big dude, he knew the way.
As we get to the hospital, they never heard of him. Had no record of him. Plus the hospital security was getting hostile.
Time to use the noggin.
I called back and found out the number for the fugitives son. Turns out he hasn't seen his father in over ten years. It was his son that called the bossman and let him know about the hospital. He lived in Utah and couldn't come to get him.
After some more talk I figured out the fugitive was in rehab for drug abuse. He had nearly killed himself and was trying to leave AMA. I got the number to call and thanked him, goodbye.
knowing i would get no help from the hospital if i was a bounty hunter, i put away all my gear. I then left for the rehab center posing as a fellow employee.
Well, the hospital should be ashamed. I report that i got full cooperation this time around.
I wished i could take a pic of the look of surprise when the fugitive saw me.
The man was yellow-looking from alcohol poisoning. He could barely walk. I carried his belongings and escorted him to the van. He was cuffed and shackled while in his seat.
THEN he asked... please get my teeth. They were at his tent.
OMFG. (this dudes living in a tent?)
I normally don't go anywhere except str8 to booking, but i HAD to see where he was hiding all this time.
We went east on a highway, and then turned off into the grass in between trees. we followed the clearing half a mile into the wilderness. there was an abandoned house.
The fugitives car was parked there. He changed cars too.
I first tried to go into the car for his glasses and keys. no luck.
Then I asked where the tent was. He pointed into the trees.
I walked into the woods looking for the tent. the brush was thick with thorns. it sliced my pants and my shirt. there was no tent in sight.
back at the van my friend was talked into letting the fugitive lead him on a search of his own.
Sure enough, the fugitive fell down when the shackles were snagged by the rough terrain.
I heard them in the distance and said keep yelling so i can find you.
after i caught up, the tent was in the distance. I went in first to make sure the area was clear. no one was in there, but it had about 8 different large knives, a machete, and the worst smell that only compares to diarrhea worthy to be called Montezuma's revenge.
There were so many beer cans in the tent, on the ground it made me think of Smokey and the bandit. actually it made the many frat parties I've gone to look sober.
I moved the knives clear of reach, and began to look for teeth. everything inside was wet. the many blankets on the floor were ready to mold. I even saw a pickle jar full of urine.
I found a plastic cup filled with milky water. in this putrid water were his teeth. i handed him the cup, and he put the teeth right in his mouth.
:barf: first my friend puked, then that made me gag.
I called out... everyone its time to leave. NOW.
On the way out i noticed that he was growing his own food. this man was truly hiding.
The trip back took over an hour. I was done being nice. I called the indemnitor to inform him I had custody. I questioned him as did his boss why he ran.
The man overheard a conversation and thought that he was gonna get sued. He got scared and ran. he swore he didn't steal any tools. His plea was truly honest.
even though I had everything i needed to add felony charges against him. I also had the responsibility to make sound judgement.
I brought him to the station. I informed the officers he was just released from the hospital. There i grabbed an office chair and sat him in it. rolled him into booking. He was subsequently served a contempt warrant and booked with no further charges.
I was more than happy to come home. I could'nt even look at a beer.
