Skipping bail is the term used to describe a charged individual who fails to make the mandated court appearances. When an accused person skips bail; the court issues a bench warrant for their arrest and court appearance. Bail is normally forfeited at a specified time period thereafter. Once the individual has skipped, a bail bondsman may try to locate them through whatever means possible. This can include hiring the services of a bounty hunter. “Tracking a skip,” as it’s sometimes referred to, can involve role playing on the part of the bounty hunter. This deception is legal and can often lead to obtaining information on the location of the accused. However should the bounty hunter causes property damage during the arrest, the bondsman can also be held liable for the costs. If the accused is returned to court prior to the forfeiture date, the bail amount has not been paid and the collateral may be returned. State law varies on the rights and obligations of bounty hunters in tracking an accused person. For additional information on skipping bail, contact a bail bondsman in your area.

No matter who actually posted the money, if you bailed them out and signed the contract with the bail bondsman, then you agreed to pay if the person skipped bail. If you did not sign the contract with the bail bondsman, then tell them to take a flying leap.

Did you go through a bail bond place or did you just post the money yourself?
I would go find them and turn them in if I were you.

Yeah you do. Unless you know where they are and the bail agents find them or the police do.

Only way out of it maybe would be to file bankruptcy.
Otherwise you can pay it or go skip yourself.
