In Professional Bail Bonds, Inc. v. State, Case No. 0638 (Md.App. March 31, 2009) the defendant fled to Honduras. The surety located the defendant there, but the defendant refused to return and no extradition treaty applied. The surety moved to strike forfeiture of its bonds and argued that it had shown reasonable grounds for not recovering the defendant. The Court explained that the case should be about the defendant not the surety, and there was no showing of reasonable grounds for the defendant's failure to appear. The defendant willfully failed to appear and was still a fugitive. The trial court correctly denied the surety any relief.
