More than a dozen people in the bail bond business, including Danial Tidwell, son of former San Bernardino County Sheriff Floyd Tidwell, were indicted Friday on a host of charges, including perjury, falsifying documents and grand theft.

The 15 people involved worked for Boone's Bail Bond, Arzate Bail Bond and Bail Hotline, according to the San Bernardino County district attorney's office.

Eight employees of Boone's in Fontana were indicted, including owner Danial Tidwell, 53. He was indicted on two counts of possessing assault weapons, one count of receiving stolen property and one count of grand theft of a firearm. His wife, Shirley, 47, was indicted on a charge of filing false and forged documents and perjury.

Three Arzate employees were indicted for unlawful solicitation of bail bonds and four people from Bail Hotline were indicted on similar charges.
