Scottsboro, Ala. bondsman Barry Dean Bolding ousted after sex charges

A Scottsboro man is barred from doing work as a bondsman in Jackson County after being indicted on multiple sex-related charges.

Authorities say 40-year-old Barry Dean Bolding is free on $246,000 bond after being charged with sexual abuse, sodomy, rape and other offenses. Bolding's wife also is charged with a misdemeanor count of sexual abuse.

Scottsboro police Maj. Ron Latimer said the three alleged victims range in age from 16 to 30.

Bolding is general manager at AAA Eagle Bail Bonds in Scottsboro, but Jackson County Sheriff Chuck Phillips said the man no longer will be allowed to make bonds at the county jail. Latimer said Bolding also is barred from doing business at the city jail in Scottsboro.
