A bail bondsman will not face jail time after being charged for breaking into a man's home, looking for someone who wasn't there.

Trumbull County Judge Ronald Rice said the man charged is not a danger to the public, but the victim said he feels justice was not served.

It was June 2021 when 21-year-old Cyler Reed, a bail bondsman was caught on camera after breaking down the door of a North Bloomfield home trying to arrest a family member that did not live there.

"A bail bondsman in the state of Ohio has the right to arrest their clients if they have an active warrant," Trumbull County Assistant Prosecutor Michael Burnett said, "However, they cannot kick in a third parties door to do so."

Reed was indicted on charges including Criminal Damaging, Trespassing and Menacing.

He is sentenced to five years of supervision and owes the victim, Charles Luck, over $3,000 in damage.

Burnett said although Reed acted out of boundaries, they believe Reed thought he was doing the right thing.

"I do think there is maybe a point of training that needs to be greater addressed with bail bondsmen," Burnett said, "I have no doubt that Mr. Reed felt that he was within his legal bounds and I think that's a training issue, not an issue with the law being vague."

Luck said he's disappointed in the sentencing and wants to see stricter bail bondsmen laws in place.

"It's terrible where someone can invade somebody's home, kick a door in illegally and threaten us with a firearm and get absolutely no jail time," Luck said. 

He said he is pursuing more legal action against Reed and has also reached out to the state to revoke Reed's bail bondsman license.
