CELEBRITY BOUNTY HUNTERS - This week our guest's are: Art Torres, Anthony Dalton and
Monica Aguery who are Bounty Hunters from a show premiering tonight at 7:00 PM (PST) and 10:00 PM (EST)
called "Bounty Wars" which will air on The Discovery Channel. When a fugitive skips court and goes on the
run, bail bonds companies are on the hook for the money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars could be on the
line, so bondsmen like Jeff Stanley of Bad Boys Bail Bonds, hire bail recovery teams to track down their
fugitives. The team that returns fugitives with the highest bail amounts will earn a $10,000 bonus. Three
teams have five days to recover a long list of fugitives. But before they break down any doors, each team
selects their targets.
The stories of the defendants are compelling and the crimes wide ranging, including felony hit and run,
concealed weapons charges, meth possession, prostitution, forgery, identity theft, robbery, child
endangerment, driving violations, and possession of tear gas. Each bounty hunting team – Team Chris, Team
Adrian, and Team Art – have their own approach, one more strategic and outrageous than the next. Some of the
defendants are pathological in their behavior while others just made poor choices, and each capture is an
opportunity for the accused to face the charges and put the crime behind them. Which team strategy brings in
the highest bounties? Will the women team members outsmart and outperform the men on their team? Should they
go after easy cases with low rewards, or take a high-risk fugitive with the huge pay-off? It’s an amazing and
exciting race each week.
Discussion Topics: How do you become a licensed Bounty Hunter? What weapons or instruments are you legally
allowed to use? Do female Bounty Hunters have to approach cases differently because of the obvious physical
differences?
