Women Claim Bondsmen Terrorized Them
Two women said they were terrorized and thought a couple of men coming after them were police officers.One man was arrested, and authorities said they're looking for another man.
Detectives said a couple of bail bondsmen, who are supposed to bring people in if they skip their court dates, went over the top when they went looking for clients who broke the rules.
Police said the bondsmen led people to believe they had more power than the law allows.
A 22-year-old woman was so scared that she asked not to have her identity revealed.
"I was more frightened than upset," the woman said.
Major Lanier is accused of grabbing the woman from her job and forcing her into a car for hours. She had signed for a bail bond for a friend, and when the bondsman went looking for him, police said they illegally used her to try to locate her friend.
