Well, let me tell you what they will do. He will post a bond and be released with a court date. Which he will undoubtably ignore at which they will issue a warrant for his arrest. If they can find him they re-arrest him and he will post another bond. It is a revolving door with the purpose of collecting money for the county. Each incident produces more fines and fees for everyone.
