Bonds was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center on August 25, 2025. A VAMPF investigation revealed that, between June 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, Bonds allegedly engaged in the unlawful and intentional misuse of a vulnerable adult’s funds and assets.
The investigation claims that Bonds, with fraudulent intent, used the victim’s debit card information without consent to obtain money, goods, or services. Bonds is further accused of exploiting the victim’s personal identifying information, including their name, address, and debit card number, to misappropriate financial resources for personal gain. Additionally, it is alleged that Bonds obtained and misused funds held by Bank of America through false or fraudulent pretenses, defrauding the institution. The victim, classified as a vulnerable adult under South Carolina law, was a resident of Bevid Place Assisted Living Facility in Spartanburg during the period of the alleged misconduct.
