AZ: Bondsmen risk death While arresting Bond Jumper


Sgt. Trent Crump said a witness had called the bond company and provided the suspect's location. The 47-year-old suspect was wanted on a warrant for aggravated assault and a weapons violation with a revoked bond.

One bondsman was grazed in the head with a round, but no one else was injured.
