This time Tyren Hargrove was served with an outstanding Order for Arrest that had a preassigned $1,000,000 bond.
“The $1,000,000 bond was due to the DA’s office fighting to get a sufficient bond set from the extraordinarily low bond previously set,” Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow said, referring to the magistrate level bonds already available to Hargrove.
This latest incident unfolded Tuesday about 9 p.m. when Henderson Police attempted a vehicle stop, and that stop attempt resulted in a lengthy chase out Vicksboro Road. The driver, Tyren Hargrove, was charged as indicated in the first press release below with a litany of charges – including Felony Flee to Elude, Felony Possession of Schedule II – and received a $52,000 bond from the magistrate.
In so many words, the police chief told WIZS if his officers had not been able to serve a preassigned $1,000,000 bond set by a superior court judge, then Hargrove would have posted and be out. By way of example, reference the second press release below from earlier this month when the HPD and DEA served a narcotics search warrant on Eastway Drive. Seized were about 4,004 dosage units of heroin, $59,348 in cash, and a semi-auto pistol.
After the narcotic warrant was served, Hargrove posted a $100,000 bond. He never made it to jail.
Barrow also cited the information listed in the first of the two press releases below about Sedarius Artez Boyd (age 22), the passenger who fled from police on foot at the end of the car chase. Barrow said, “Notice the unsecured bond set for the other guy who ran.” Boyd was served with an outstanding Criminal Summons for Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, and charged with Resisting a Public Officer. Boyd received a $1,000 bond unsecured. Unsecured bonds don’t require the posting of any money.
