Looking for anything on my America’s Hardest Bounty Hunters episode guide on VHS/DVD or to trade? Just email me.
This half hour Bravo TV series from the UK is narrated by Michael Greco and follows a 6 man Bounty Hunter team from Indianapolis, IN run by ex-military members and led by Agent Fred Slack from the Fugitive Recovery Agency. The show focuses on the SWAT type raids, but also does little profiles on the members of the team. They are real professionals with experience in law enforcement unlike phonies like Duane Dog Chapman.

You have to have heart, be patient, have compassion, be thorough, have drive, read people, think like a criminal and have courage. You need them all to do the job. 302514 - James Adams (23) is on a $25,000 bond. James says he sold drugs and wasn't good at it. 5/12/04 briefing - he's a loudmouth rowdy kid at a gang hangout and they could be outnumbered. They hit the house hard and start taking people down who are all over. James wasn't there so they search all over the house and find him in the back bedroom. A naked woman jumps out of bed, she's heavy and flopping all around saying "No, no!" as James tries to get out the window. Dallas Vest Jr. says he got 10 years. 106254B - Ron Klein (46)/Geoff Klein (22) $50,000 bond. Fred became a hunter because 11 years ago he was robbed and left for dead and wanted to catch them.

He says he didn't do nothing. It takes 4 of them to get him under control since he is so big. Dad runs into the garage and they get the door open. He's fat, has no shirt and says he has nothing on him. In the van the son kicks the cameraman. He does it again and they grab him and go to detain him. Then the father starts fighting though both are cuffed. They yank them outside and hogtie them. They still struggle and want to fight. They separate them and tie the son up. They kept making threats so they took him to jail to wait a month to get extradited from IN to FL. They have a party for James. 117002 - James Cole (34) $20,000 for DWI. They've tried to get him a couple of times. Robert Webb says a CI was to leave the door open for them. At the briefing they are told no one else is home. The house is a disaster, everything is broken and boarded up. They find them having sex on the couch. The guy jumps up naked and they have to push him down with his butt in their face. The place stunk and they smelled like they hadn't showered in days. It smelled like ass and animals. They have his wife get dressed and help him get his pants over his small penis. Outside he tries to run and they tackle him in the street. He says he wasn't ready to go, caught him in the middle of something. 2005 |
