Last Monday night a Conway woman was coned by a man pretending to be a bail bondsman. The man said he worked for City Bail Bonds and asked the Conway woman if he could search her home to help locate a suspect. As the two got talking the man said he could help the Conway woman bail her son out of jail if she continued to help him locate his suspect.
The alleged bondsman and the woman met at the Faulkner County Detention Center the following night where she gave the man $150 for her sons bail. The two were exchanging information and money when the suspect took off in a silver car.
Conway Police were called reporting the scam by the victim the same night. Police were able to speak to a witness who was at the victims home at the same time as the fake bondsman. The witness was able to give the police a phone number they used to contact the suspect. The suspect told police he would turn himself in, but never did.
The owners of City Bail Bonds were asked by police if they could assist in locating the suspect. After linking the suspects name and phone number. City Bail Bonds was able to give police a driver’s license photo of the suspect. The victim confirmed it was the man who conned her out of her money.
The suspect is being considered a flight risk as he was currently out on bail for a different crime. Police will be contacted by City Bail Bonds as soon as the fake bondsman is located and placed in jail.
