Bail company loses $50K over man deported from Morris

An insurance company that covered the bail on a man accused of molesting a child in Morris Township, and later deported to his native Honduras, has been ordered by a judge to forfeit the $50,000 bond.

Superior Court Judge John B. Dangler late Friday upheld a colleague's ruling in April that Texas-based Financial Casualty & Surety Co. had to forfeit the $50,000 bail it provided to TBA Bail Bonds in Woodstown when it wrote a bond for sexual assault suspect Carlos Ulloa Murillo, 21.
