Quick Answer: YES!

After a person is released on bond, they are not free and clear just yet. In fact, when a person is facing criminal charges, there is no such thing as 100% freedom until the case is completely finished and fulfilled. Being released on bond is simply a “conditional” release. No matter who they are or what they’ve been charged with, there are always certain restrictions placed on offenders that have been bailed out of jail. But these restrictions and rules do vary depending on several factors, including a person’s criminal history, their “flight” risk, and their particular criminal charges. These restrictions are clearly outlined in the bail bond agreement signed by the offender or the person bailing the offender out. If these rules and restrictions are not met, consequences and penalties will ensue. And one of those penalties is a revoked bail bond.

Revoked Bail Bonds

When a person’s bail bond is revoked, their right to be legally out of prison to await their scheduled court hearing is taken away. So predictably, an arrest warrant is issued for the offending individual. But that’s not the only consequence. Whoever signed the bail bond agreement will be legally responsible for paying the total bond amount to the bail bond company, minus what they’ve already paid for the initial bail bond. For instance, if an inmate’s bond is set at $5,000 and the bail bondsman charged 10% of that amount for their services, the signee on the bail bond contract will then owe an additional $4,500 to the bail bondsmen.

One common way this happens is when a person out on bail misses their court date. But bail bonds can be revoked for much more than just that. If a personal commits another crime, attempts to leave the state, or violates a court order (house arrest, ankle monitoring, failed drug test, alcohol consumption, etc.), they can also face bail bond revocation. After a bail bond is pulled, courts will issue a warrant commanding law enforcement to re-arrest the individual. At this point, the person will face additional criminal charges on top of the initial ones they were bonded out for.
