Q: My boyfriend was arrested while out on bond in another county. That bond was dropped. What do I do now?
He was out on bond in St Lucie County & arrested in Indian River County. I cant bond him out & the original bondsman dropped bond so he wont FTA. He is in IRC jail. He has court in st lucie Oct 1 & court in IRC Oct 3. I dont know what to do.
A: A new arrest is grounds to revoke the St Lucie County bond. In other words, even if you post the bond in Indian River, the prosecutor in St Lucie could ask the court to keep your boyfriend in jail until his trial date. By coming off the bond in St Lucie, your boyfriend is now receiving credit for time served on both cases. Consult with your lawyer before making any decisions. Alert the lawyer in st Lucie that his client is in Indian River. If he doesn’t have a lawyer, call the judge’s judicial assistant and inform her that you boyfriend is in custody in another county.
