What to Do When a Loved One Is Arrested
Host Andy Murphy interviews veteran bail agent and PBUS president David Stuckman about what happens after an arrest and how families can bond a loved one out safely. David explains booking and jail processing, how families should verify incarceration directly with the jail or its website to avoid bail scams, and how bondsmen typically get paid.
The conversation covers failures to appear, forfeiture consequences, when bounty hunters are used, red flags for reputable bondsmen, and a sample DUI timeline including separate DMV license hearings.
