Possible Kidnapping, Later Found to be Bail Bonsmen

This happened Monday, April13
Since then we've learned that this was two bail bondsmen talking down a fugitive
Here is a Facebook link to surveilence video of the take down:

And apparently, firing a shot into the ceiling is only a misdemeanor if you are a bounty hunter

I'm pretty sure I would have been charged with Damaging property, firing a gun in the city limits, assault with a deadly weapon, menacing, and inducing panic

When I worked for the AG, part of my job was prosecuting disciplinary cases involving bail bondsmen. I could tell you some stories; such a colorful group.

I think this is just a start to the list of possible charges:
Illegal bail bond agent practices.

That might very well be a good starting point, but my friend's daughter and everybody else in the place was assaulted with a deadly weapon by the guy who was keeping the crowd back, firing the round into the ceiling is definitely property damage, not to mention illegal firing a gun in city limits, and those crimes make it also a matter of inducing panic.

Not to mention discharge a gun and I might think you are shooting at me... In which case, that isn't going to end well, quite possibly for you as well as me...
