Bail bondsman's properties auctioned off

Milton Tillman Jr., the troubled bail bondsman who CityPaper named sarcastically dubbed "Citizen of the Year" in 2008, is running into more problems. More than a year after FBI and IRS agents raided his businesses, 28 of his properties were auctioned off yesterday. Court records show he's facing various other foreclosure proceedings and lawsuits, and sources in the bail bonds industry say his 4 Aces Bail Bonds isn't the powerhouse it once was.

This link from the CityPaper is a portal to various stories they wrote on Tillman, mostly exploring his financial ties. It also has a link to the search warrant affidavit, which unfortunately doesn't spell out what exactly federal agents were looking for. Tillman has not been charged in connection with the searches.

Guess he should have invested in more free pens to give away

A cursory reading of the CityPaper article cited would have kept you from suggesting that the Paper named Mr Tillman anything. A correction is called for.

Well, the title of the piece is most certainly "Citizen of the Year," but how do you like my edit? -Justin

http://www.bailbondslosangeles.org/ - here is my bail bond website and I all I can say about this is WOW!

Maybe he needed an Ace up his sleeve, sounds like he got the royal flush. :) http://PioneerBailBonds.com

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore.
