PEOPLE v. RANGER INSURANCE COMPANY
Surety for bond has no time constraints in which to move to exonerate bond where defendant, within 180 days of notice of his bail forfeiture, is arrested outside county where underlying case is located. Where, a day after court forfeited defendant's bond following his failure to appear for hearing on drug charges, defendant was arrested in another county on same drug case. The trial court was not required to exonerate bond on its own motion when defendant was taken into custody. But the court erred in denying surety's motions that were brought more than 185 days after receiving notice of forfeiture to set aside summary judgment and exonerate bond.
