Charges Filed Against Three Bondsmen

Charges have been filed by the Jefferson County Prosecutor’s office against three Missouri licensed bail bond agents and two other men. According to casenet, charges have been filed against bondsmen Steven Morgan, Randall Avett, and Thaddeus Bibb, who all work under the authority of Rick Adams. The two other unlicensed men, Brandon Morgan and Rudulph Whiston, were also charged on related offenses. The prosecutor’s office has charged the men with burglary, armed criminal action, felonious restraint, and property damage. All face bonds of $47,000, except for Avett whose bond is listed at $10,000. Casenet records indicate that Steven Morgan, Brandon Morgan, and Bibb have posted bond through Adams.

The charges stem from fugitive recovery work. Allegedly, the men forced entry at a residence where they believed the fugitive to be staying. The fugitive was not at the residence and the residents denied knowing the suspect. The police were summoned by the residents and charges resulted three months after the incident.
