Only BAD guys go into custody? Absolutely NOT! Anyone can find themselves on the other side of the bars for a plethora of reasons, and one of the major ones is THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION for a police officer.
Maybe a neighbor LIES and says you took a swing at him/her. A peace officer has sometimes only one option and that is to let a judge decide the truth.
Whatever the reason, the system is in place to serve us all.
Being arrested can be a very traumatic experience, not just for the person being arrested but for their loved ones as well.

A Wichita Falls bail bondsman is indicted for alleged human smuggling in July 2021.
REDACTED is facing trial for Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity–Smuggling of Persons.
He is free on a $100,000 bond.
In January 2022, Texas Rangers began investigating Green after they received information about his alleged involvement in smuggling undocumented immigrants from the border regions of Texas and other parts of the United States to Wichita Falls.
The report said the investigation began in Ward County, Texas, when 10 immigrants
were found in a 1999 Dodge van. The driver said REDACTED and several others were involved in the human smuggling operation. Authorities said Green’s involvement was to obtain transportation and provide “stash houses” in Wichita Falls.
Another alleged participant told authorities his first trip to the border region was in September 2019, where he picked up several immigrants from Ecuador.
He said he made his second trip in November, where he picked up 13 passengers. He said he was paid $1,000 per trip. On his third trip, he said he picked up 10 people and was arrested while returning to Wichita Falls.
What exactly does a bondsman do? There have been films and television shows about the profession, but their basis in reality is up for debate.
That depends on the bail amount the judge sets. In Kern County, there is a bail schedule with a recommended bail amount listed for each crime.
For example, $50,000 is the recommended bail amount for carjacking, $25 for residential burglary. Some crimes, like murder, can result in bail of $1 million or the defendant being held without bail. Enhancements and prior convictions can result in higher bail.
For simplicity’s sake, let’s say the judge set bail at $10,000.
Becoming the first African American female licensed bail bonds business owner in her town is a dream come true for Marshall resident Ta’mesha Tuck.
Tuck realized her dream in July after obtaining her license and opening her business M&M Bail Bonds at 100 E. Pinecrest Drive, Suite A.
“It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it,” Tuck said of realizing her dreams and making her mark in history.
Tuck fell in love with helping others through the bail bonds industry after moving to Marshall in 2009 and working for Greens Professional Services, owned by Bo Green, her mentor.
“I actually went in to start doing taxes, but maybe a weekend he needed an assistant over at his other office with the bail bonding,” said Tuck. “About three or four months in, he asked me would I consider being a bail bondsman.”
Tuck began watching other professionals at the office and admired their interaction with the clients.
“You see a lot of different things and people coming in,” she said. “A year in, he allowed me to get my license. And after nine-and-a half years, I was thinking about doing it for myself.”
Former Stanford Law School dean Larry Kramer and Stanford University research scientist Andreas Paepcke helped make it possible for the former CEO to remain out of federal custody as he awaits trial, unsealed court documents reveal.
The names of the wealthy backers who guaranteed indicted FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s $250 million bail bond were finally revealed Wednesday.
The court filings were made public by Manhattan U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is presiding over the embattled entrepreneur’s criminal fraud case. Bankman-Fried’s previously objected to disclosing the names.
Kramer and Paepke each co-signed Bankman-Fried’s unsecured personal recognizance bonds, with Kramer pledging property worth $500,000 and Paepke pledging property worth $200,000.
Typically, a defendant must pledge assets equal to around 10% of the bond amount. In Bankman-Fried’s case, his bond was set at $250 million — one of the largest bail figures in history — meaning he could be expected to pledge assets totaling around $25 million.
The previously licensed bail agent and insurance producer, REDACTED, 29, was arraigned in Santa Barbara Superior Court on Friday, December 30, according to the California Department of Insurance.
REDACTED allegedly stole a total of $25,000 from three bail clients, the Insurance Department said in a press release on Friday. The department said they received multiple complaints from REDACTED’s bail clients, in which they alleged REDACTED took cash from them but failed to post a bond.
REDACTED reportedly had been illegally operating in Santa Barbara under an unregistered business name, Wolf Bail Bonds. While using the unregistered business name in May and June of last year, he met with the families of two criminal defendants who were seeking bail. According to the Insurance Department, during these meetings, REDACTED secured the combined total of $25,000 in cash for bail deposits.
