Orange County Bail Bonds -- A fight between female bounty hunters and a
convicted felon out on bail may lead to a lawsuit. Bounty hunters from Lipstick Bail Bonds, an
all-female pink wearing bounty hunting team, tried to arrest Daniel Duvall at
an Arby's in Huntington Beach
Monday according to San Diego 6 News
Within seconds, a violent
struggle happened inside the restaurant while members of the bounty hunting
team recorded video. Duvall was shot at least eight times with rubber bullets,
Lipstick Bail Bonds co-owner Teresa Golt said.
She also stated that she used a pepper blaster and a stun gun before Daniel
Duvall escaped.
One rubber bullet broke
Duvall's nose and another one hit him in the eye and blinded him, according to Attorney Dan Gillleon, a San Diego-based attorney. Gilleon said it's unclear if
Duvall's sight will return.
Gilleon is asking why did
they even touch him in the first place? What was the justification for using so
much force ? Also, why didn’t they gave him a chance to come in voluntarily?
Teresa Golt says she
took the aggressive action to arrest Daniel Duvall because of his past criminal
history. Orange County Superior Court records show Duvall has pleaded guilty twice
in the past for possessing a firearm as a felon, along with numerous other
felony charges according to 10News
"This is a bad
ass criminal. I mean he's hardcore. Just look at his dog sheet. We're not going
to say, 'oh sir can you please put your hands behind your back so I can arrest
you?' That isn’t going to work with this guy. This guy is hardcore, bad ass.
I'm not going to get hurt and I'm not going to get shot," Golt said.
As Teresa Golt
approached Duvall in the restaurant, she said "stand up" and then
reached for his arm. While reaching, she said, "your bond has been
revoked," and began trying to handcuff the man midway through the sentence. By stating "your bond has been revoked," Golt
says she is giving Duvall sufficient identification of herself as a bail bonds
agent. Attorney Dan Gilleon doesn't
think so. "They created this
dramatic, sensational, violent video so they could promote themselves. It's a
publicity stunt is really what it is."
Golt says Duvall had
numerous chances to surrender, but kept resisting.
Bounty hunters and other Orange County Bail Bonds agents tricked Daniel Duvall and told them they needed his signature on some documents when he agreed
to the meeting. He was not aware his bail bonds company wanted to revoke his
bond and return him to jail.
"If I call him up
and say, 'can you meet me so I can put you back in jail?' That's not going to
work," said Golt.
Dan Gilleon says Duvall is
preparing to sue for negligence and defamation. He thinks the case could secure
a judgment in the millions if the injury to Duvall's eye is permanently
blinded..
