An Oahu grand jury on Tuesday indicted a 19-year-old for attempted murder in connection to a shooting in Kalihi.

Prosecutors said Johnathan Ten is also charged with three firearms offenses for a shooting that seriously injured a 16-year-old boy on a city bus in Kalihi on Aug. 9.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office, Ten was facing kidnapping and sexual assault charges in a separate case involving a minor. He was out on $250,000 bail pending trial when the bus shooting happened.

“You can rest assured we will do everything we can to protect the public by securing convictions in both cases,” Honolulu Prosecutor Steve Alm said.

That sounds like a great follow up story.

The full amount is typically required where the defendant is a flight risk, has outstanding unpaid fines, or has failed to return to court before.

Percentage bonds are common in states where professional bail agents cannot operate.

So, it's up to the judge to require either the full $250K, or just a percentage paid by a surety: a friend, family member, or bail agent.    In most cases, the percentage specified by the judge is 10% of the bail, so in this case $25K. 

If the defendant fails to appear, whoever provided the 10% must then pay the full bond amount to the court.  in cases where a bail bondsman is the surety, they pay the court.  They then have the right to hire a bounty hunter to locate and detain the bail jumper.  Returning the bail jumper to the court refunds the bail back to the surety.
