Court orders bond forfeiture and remands Millard Durell Cummings after no-show at docket call
Summary
The court recalled Millard Durell Cummings' case after the defendant failed to appear; the judge granted the state's request for bond forfeiture and remanded the defendant without bond pending appearance or recall.
At a docket call before Judge Stephanie Boyd the defendant Millard Durell Cummings did not appear and counsel reported no contact; the court granted the state's request for bond forfeiture and ordered the defendant remanded without bond.
The court had scheduled the hearing for 9 a.m. and recalled it at 1:30 p.m.; the defendant failed to appear at the recalled time. Defense counsel reported attempts to contact the client and the bondsman but no current whereabouts. The court granted the state's request, ordered bond forfeiture and remanded the defendant without bond; the court stated it would reconsider bond if the defendant later made an appearance.
The judge asked the clerk to make announcements for the record and to note the state and defense appearances; the record shows counsel announced for the state and defense prior to the court's order. The court's order was recorded on the docket and counsel was advised of the possibility of reconsideration should the defendant appear.
