Your friend can file for his own bond modification. Otherwise, it has to be filed by a lawyer. There is only one bond in the case, $1,800 which has now been increased to $2,500. The other, simpler option is just to post the additional $700 and resolve it that way.
So my bond will be 3500 and my indictment comes out n few days and I'm n hospital for my conjestive heart faulier. My bond being raised to cash now makes me have to be arrested what do I do I do t got money and I'm in jail

I would contact and Employment Lawyer. I do not see any potential criminal charges unless there were threats of violence or abuse.
The girls recorded the entire incident before putting a video of it on Youtube.
The police labeled it a prank. How was this legal for the girls to do with no punishment?
answered on Jul 26, 2022
They are juveniles. Juveniles play pranks. I suppose the boys parents could file charges against the girls in juvenile court, but that would be pretty involved for nothing more than a harmless prank (unless someone was actually injured).
