TN bounty hunters charged with assault-license certification violation
Clarksville TN January 13 2019
Three bounty hunters were arrested this week by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on charges of assault and failure to follow state bounty hunter laws.
Andrew Scott Giarratano, 29, Charles Victor Mullins, 33, and Jason Glendale Woosley, 36, all with Grumpy’s Bail Bonds, have been booked into jail.
The three went to a residence in the 2000 block of River Road at about 12:45 a.m. on Nov. 16, to take into custody two individuals who had misdemeanor warrants of out of Hickman County, according to a news release from Sandra Brandon.
The bounty hunters tried to kick in the front door. When the victim heard the noise, he went to the door and asked the men who they were.
They informed him they were bounty hunters, Brandon said.
The victim told them to hold on while he put away his dog, which bites. When he returned to the door, the bounty hunters kicked it in, and the door struck the victim.
The victim was taken by ambulance to Tennova Healthcare, where he received more than a dozen stitches to his forehead before being taken to the jail for booking.
The bounty hunters took custody of the second individual.
When the bounty hunters arrived at the Montgomery County Jail, they didn’t have copies of the certified bond or capias and they didn’t have a pocket card certifying they had completed the training required by state law.
