Muskegon County sheriff says he took golf trips with bail bondsman

Muskegon County sheriff says he took golf trips with bail bondsman | MLive.com
The sheriff’s office runs the Muskegon County Jail. Bail bondsmen, for a fee, post bail for criminal defendants to get them out of jail.
If the defendants later fail to appear for court, bond agencies have bounty hunters try to find them and bring them in.
“I’ve got nothing to hide,” Roesler said of the golf trips.
 ”I realize now, stepping back, that it looks a little shady… But the other point, the sheriff doesn’t set the bonds or benefit from the bonds.
We’re just the pass-through agency.”
