A bail bond can be revoked if the defendant violates the conditions of their release. This can result in immediate arrest and return to custody.
Common reasons for revocation include failing to appear at court dates, committing a new crime while out on bail, or violating specific release conditions.
The bail bondsman can also petition to have a bond revoked if they believe the defendant is a flight risk or poses a danger to the community.
When a bond is revoked, the defendant loses the right to remain free pending trial. Bail may be denied or set at a higher amount.
To avoid revocation, defendants must attend all court dates, follow all release conditions, and maintain communication with their bail bondsman.
