Checkout Time Bail Bonds

Mark Beaver lives and breathes through the criminal justice system. It's what his business, Beaver Bail Bonds, is all about.
But Beaver and several associates found themselves accused of being on the wrong side of the law a few years back. Earlier this month, the men were acquitted of all charges they faced.
Accuser Donald Carson claimed, in both the incident report and a civil lawsuit filed in 2007, that Beaver and his agents mistook him for a fugitive, entered his South Carolina home with guns drawn and pinned him against a wall.
The Spartanburg Herald-Journal reported the bondsmen, who were not licensed in South Carolina, were looking for a man named Donald Bargo - wanted for skipping bond on charges in North Carolina.
Beaver described the incident as routine.
Along with Beaver, the S.C. Law Enforcement Division charged Walter Lee Currier, of Lawndale, Benjamin Steve Philbeck, of Fallston, Steve Philbeck and Keith Clark Marham with one count of pointing and presenting a firearm and violating the state chapter.
Beaver and Philbeck faced an additional count of assault and battery.
Though the bondsmen were found not guilty of any criminal charges, the Herald-Journal stated Carson and the defendants settled a civil suit out of court.
Carson did not divulge the settlement amount. Beaver's attorney, Lexington's Theo Williams, did not return calls placed this week.
"The system works. It's a long, drawn out process but the system works," Beaver said. "We're just glad its over. It's taken a toll on life over the last three years, but we're glad it's over."

Background
Spartanburg Public Safety Capt. Billy Norris previously said Carson filed a police report in 2006 after the incident but became uncooperative during the investigation.
"The very day that Carson brought his complaint to us a judge issued a warrant for simple assault," said Norris. "Af-ter the initial report was taken we made numerous attempts to contact Mr. Carson and even went to his residence. After several attempts to meet with us, we made a decision to drop the warrant."
Throughout the police report, both Carson and his attorney, Andrew Johnston, referred to a civil lawsuit against the bond company. After charges were dropped, the attorney attempted to get them re-filed.
"Mr. Johnston stated he and Mr. Carson were looking to sue Beaver Bail Bonds and it would benefit their case if it had criminal charges to back it up," an officer wrote in the report.
After Carson requested an investigation by the state's attorney general, charges against the bail bondsmen were later filed by SLED.
