## Resource

When 33-year-old Patrick Alexander was arrested for a misdemeanor trespassing charge in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, his bond was set at a very manageable $250. But during his bond hearing on March 16, 2026, Alexander made a choice that quickly upgraded his legal troubles. Handing the judge three $100 bills, Alexander confidently told the court to "keep the change."
