Annotate this CaseDefendant was indicted for possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. Defendant was released on a $200,000 bond secured by real property owned by his parents. When Defendant violated a condition of his release, the district court revoked his bond. After the bond revocation hearing, Defendant fled. Two days later, the government moved for a declaration of bond forfeiture. The district court subsequently entered an order of default judgment on the forfeiture agreement. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to set aside the bond forfeiture with Defendant still at large.
