WOONSOCKET — Call it a mutiny on the bounty hunters.
Woonsocket police said on Tuesday that two men who purchased "bounty hunter" credentials from an online source have been charged with assault and breaking and entering for forcing their way into an apartment and taking a Woonsocket woman into custody on May 7.
"We're still knocking our heads on this," commented Lt. Eugene Jalette of the Woonsocket police. "We've never seen this before."
The woman, Rebecca Ball, 18, of 90 Blackstone St., was wanted on a warrant for failure to appear in District Court on a charge of assault.
Jalette said the men handcuffed Ball and drove her to Cumberland police headquarters, where bail commissioner Richard Finnegan released her pending a court appearance.
Officers in Cumberland recommended that Ball go to the Woonsocket police to file a complaint, Jalette said.
She did just that the next day, Jalette said.
Detective Thomas Calouro of the Woonsocket police began looking into the matter. He reported that the "bounty hunters," Brandon Johnson, 36, and Ronald Cervantes, 39, both of 620 Elm St., decided to start a company to apprehend fugitives. He said they went to an online source called beabountyhunter.com and paid $235, for which they received bounty hunter badges and identification cards.
"They sure look official," Jalette said of the ID paraphernalia, "but they're not."
Once armed with their credentials, Johnson, Cervantes and three companions went to Ball's apartment and took Ball into custody.
Calouro obtained arrest warrants for Johnson and Cervantes. They turned themselves in on Tuesday. Johnson was released on bail. Cervantes was held as a probation violator from a Superior Court case about which details were lacking.
Jalette said no action was taken against the other three individuals because they played only a minor role and the police could not prove they had criminal intent.
Of the bounty hunter caper, Jalette said, "It's quite unique."
Happens all the time.

I was never a "bounty hunter". It's a classification that doesn't exist in most states.
No way is "Woonsocket" a real place name. Something a car repairer charges you £75 + VAT for, maybe.

From wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woonsocket
QuoteBefore the arrival of European settlers in northern Rhode Island during the 17th century, today's Woonsocket region was inhabited by three Native American tribes — the Nipmucs (Cowesett), Wampanoags, and Narragansetts [6]. In 1661, the English theologian Roger Williams purchased the area from the "Coweset and Nipmucks," and in a letter referred to modern day Woonsocket as "Niswosakit."[7] Other possible derivations to the name include several Nipmuc geographic names from nearby Massachusetts. These include Woonksechocksett, from Worcester County meaning "fox country," and Wannashowatuckqut, also from Worcester County, meaning "at the fork of the river".[8] Another theory states Woonsocket derives from "thunder mist," in reference to the largest waterfall on the Blackstone River, which lies at the center of the city. However, another theory proposes the city was named after Woonsocket Hill in neighboring North Smithfield. The term "thunder mist" is used by several local businesses, including Thundermist Health Center.[9] . There is also a series of novellettes titled "Thundermist" (Thundermist 04167 and A Week Without Sunshine) by local author David Lafleche.
In the 19th century it became an important industrial center that attracted hordes of French-Canadian immigrants.

Wisconsin has a plethora of names like that: Waukesha, Mukwonago, Wauwatosa, and Oshkosh are a few. In the same area Illinois has Wuakegan, Indiana has Mishawaka and Michigan has Kalamazoo.

someone should arrest that "Dog" guy. or at least take away his TV show and let him fade into obscurity and Celebrity boxing or something.

I'm amazed he hasn't been beaten to death by his wife's breasts during sex yet. :P

Wasn't he arrested by the Mexican government and charged with kidnapping? What happened to that?

IIRC, a Mexican court dropped it.

Surely you must realize that your Mexican laws do not apply to white people, except when it is convenient for us.
There is a city in Guangdong province in China that is named "asshole" in Chinese.

Moosup
Sounds like a slang greeting of Yukon ganstas. Or getting a hair removal job.
One thing I don't understand. It seems it is entirely possible to be a bounty hunter legally. They knew where the suspect was. If there was a reward on her head, all they needed to do was to report her to police. Less work, more reward.

Mono would be the guy everyone knows at the station that calls on a Saturday night, to inform them that the neighbors are "up to something, and it's probably no good".
