According to this report in the Gloucester County Times in New Jersey, bail bond client Harold Gotts, 22, escaped while being transported to jail by his bondsman, Antonio Roman. Reportedly, Gotts kicked the car door into Roman as he was trying to remove Gotts from the car at the police station. Roman was pushed to the ground while Gotts, handcuffed in front, tried to escape to a vehicle waiting a few blocks away.
Roman alerted police and a manhunt ensued. Thirty minutes later, Gotts was apprehended still handcuffed. He was charged with simple assault, obstruction, resisting arrest, hindering apprehension and disorderly conduct. Bond was set at $25,000 full cash.
Gotts’ accomplices, his fiancé and two friends, were charged with obstruction, hindering apprehension and disorderly conduct.
