Ace Bail Bonds

07/02/2025

I hate the word cash bail. I like secured bail because we secure the defendants appearance in court.

I may not be writing much anymore due to the changes, but for all of the people who think bail bonds is a ponzi scheme….

So I want to say something so that rumors aren’t swirling & spreading. As you all may have known, I have had my Ace Bail Bonds property up for sale.

Today, I took down my sign on my building. It looks so odd to see it this way. I am still in business and I am still a bondsman. That isn’t going away for a little while. If you need me, I’m still around. I’m just a phone call away. Instead of meeting me at my office, I’ll meet you at the jail.

A bail agent named Curtis from Georgia was shot & killed.

This is completely uncalled for and unjustified. I hope this bondsman wins big & the judges are removed.

The Bozeman Municipal Court judges who tried to halt a bail bonding business because of a forfeiture have appeared to double down on stopping Bad Boy Bail Bonds.

Just for the record, you should also not drive drunk the other 364 days of the year.

So there is a lot to unpack here with this article. So let me give you an overview of what’s happening.

When I got into the bail bond business 16 years ago, I went to a Bail Agent Association meeting near Indianapolis. The people that were in charge of the association at that time essentially said that the bail bond industry was slowly bleeding to death.

Ever since that day, I kind of started looking at & keeping a Plan B and even a plan C in the back of my mind.

I tried to start a tactical shop about 7-8 years ago. It just wasn’t the right time so I continued doing bonds.
I can’t quite remember, but somewhere around the end of 2023/January 2024, I was told that the K County judges were having a meeting to talk about bonds. A few days later, I was told that not much was going to change, which wasn’t necessarily true come to find out.

I was on pins and needles for a while. Didn’t know exactly how it was going to play out nor how the changes were going to affect us bail bondsman.

The last part of July/1st part of August 2024, I landed in the critical care unit in Bozeman, Montana for four days. At that point, I had my bail bond business, the bail bond property where my office is located. My wife and I own the small commercial property that you see in the picture, and she had an antique business that was starting to grow.

My wife and I just decided to start simplifying our lives. I still have to keep my bail bond license as I still have active clients going through the court process. Will I transition out of bonds when that’s done? More than likely yes but that won’t be for a little while yet. Plus I still need to locate and apprehend my clients if they skip court. Plus, we do hunt for other bondsman both in & from out of state.

For now, I will continue to do bonds for some who meet stricter requirements & for for some people that I’ve met that I have appreciated getting to know.

I have started the process of selling Ace Bail Bonds property & my personal property that’s in it.

I spend all my time at Westside Tactical store now. Don’t be a stranger. Stop in and say hi. If I’m not busy, we’ll sit and chat for awhile.

Local bail bondsman Curtis Stavedahl has wanted to run a tactical gear store in Warsaw for quite some time, but the timing was never right.

For those that pray, please pray. I’m in a critical care unit in Montana after having an abscess that has started to close off my airway and swallowing. The best & easiest solution was surgery to drain it. It didn’t go well and had to be stopped due to my veinous malformation (type of birthmark for easy explanation)

I need prayers that the many rounds of antibiotics and steroids I’m receiving is working so we can get back to Indiana.
