A bail bondsman from Whittier was arrested Thursday for allegedly misappropriating $30,000 from a client, officials said. Arturo Miramontes, 40, was charged with two counts of grand theft by embezzlement. He is a licensed bail bondsman at Rodeo Bail Bonds in Whittier. A phone number listed for the business was disconnected. Miramontes has a July 6 arraignment at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles. In late 2007, the victim contacted Miramontes to secure a bail bond, giving the defendant $30,000 as cash collateral. The victim’s court case was completed and his bail was exonerated. Miramontes allegedly failed to return the cash collateral to the victim and allegedly embezzled funds from the insurance company for which he wrote the bond, said Shiara Davila-Morales, spokeswoman for the District’s Attorney’s Office. He was booked at the Sheriff’s Century Station, according to the sheriff’s booking system. But it doesn’t show if Miramontes posted bail.
Bondsman charged in “referral scheme” SANTA ANA – A bail bond agent was arrested Thursday and accused of soliciting attorney referrals and inmate business in an illegal bail bond referral scheme. Ronald Lee Brockway, 50, of Seal Beach, is charged with two felony counts of violating bail license regulations and faces a maximum sentence of three years and eight months in state prison. He is being held on $50,000 bail pending his arraignment. California law prohibits bail bond employees from soliciting bail business from any inmate or incarcerated person, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. The law also prohibits bail bond employees from recommending any attorney to any bail bond client, even if no money changes hands. Brockway is accused of sending numerous e-mails to attorneys soliciting them to participate in an illegal bail bond scheme with his company, Respect Bail Bond, according to the news release. In his messages, Brockway is accused of suggesting that the attorneys refer bail bond business to him, while offering to refer clients to the attorneys in order to “increase both of our earnings substantially,” prosecutors said. Brockway is also accused of unlawfully soliciting business from inmates by mass mailing flyers to the Orange County jail containing the name and contact information for Respect Bail Bond. The flyers read, “Get out of jail today by calling now!” In October 2005, Brockway testified in an Orange County Grand Jury hearing that he had received cash payments from attorney Joseph Cavallo in exchange for referring arrestees to Cavallo’s law practice. Brockway was not prosecuted in that case because his testimony was needed in the prosecution of other defendants, prosecutors said. Cavallo was indicted based partly on Brockway’s testimony. Cavallo pleaded guilty on Oct. 12, 2007, to conspiracy to engage in attorney capping, or paying for clients, and an illegal attorney referral scheme. He was sentenced to six months in jail on Dec. 14, 2007. The District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation began investigating the current case after a private attorney contacted the OCDA to report receiving the e-mail from Brockway regarding the illegal referral scheme.
