There are many things that bail bondsmen recommend defendants avoid after their bail is posted, and fleeing from court dates and the police are two of the major ones. On July 14th, a man in New London, Connecticut was chased by police and a bail bondsman on rearrest warrants for failing to appear in court. After the man was spotted by a bail bondsman in a vehicle on the Wednesday afternoon, he was immediately rearrested for a handful of charges regarding a domestic violence incident, as well as charges for the man’s rearrest warrant and police chase.  One of the top things that bondsmen recommend for defendants after being released from jail is avoiding rearrests and warrants. These arrests can arise from many situations, and sometimes defendants will unintentionally find themselves in a place that can cause them to be rearrested or for a warrant to be issued.  To avoid these situations and how to deal with rearrests and warrants, here are some tips from 3-D Bail Bonds: For a defendant released on bail, there are a few things to keep in mind to avoid situations where an arrest can occur. One example of this is to avoid staying out late at night and drinking, which can lead to a possible DUI. Stay away from illegal situations involving drugs or firearms. A defendant also wants to stay in their jurisdiction after their release. Leaving the state and/or country can cause a rearrest warrant in certain situations. Staying in your hometown and the surrounding area is the best way to stay safe under these circumstances.  The most important thing that a defendant wants to do after they are released on bail is to attend their court date.  This is one of the most common reasons why rearrest warrants are put out for defendants. Attending your court date shows a better impression in the eyes of the judge, and have an overall positive impact on the defendant’s case. When defendants are not sure about their court dates, reach to the bondsman or local superior court for help in finding out the correct date. In the situation that a defendant misses their court date, whether it’s for an intentional reason or something out of the defendant’s control, the best thing to do is to call your bail bondsman. By contacting the court and/or police department, a bail bondsman can get more information on the defendant’s specific situation, provide guidance, and assist a defendant with the process of turning themselves in if the rearrest warrant is issued. If a defendant finds an arrest warrant has been put out for them, it is best to turn themselves into police on their terms. 3-D Bail Bonds offer free warrant checks and our trusted bail bondsmen can help a defendant with the process of turning themselves in to the police. When dealing with re-arrest warrants, bail bondsmen do not recommend running from police or bondsmen. It can cause more stress and more criminal charges for the defendant, more fines and fees, and possibly, more jail time.  If a defendant is avoiding court because they are scared or nervous to go back to court after missing a court date, a bondsman can attend court with you. With the help of a trusted bail bonds company, like 3-D Bail Bonds, and complying with the law, there is a low risk for a re-arrest.
