12-4303. Failure to appear.
In the event the accused person fails to appear at the time designated
in the appearance bond, or at any subsequent time to which the appearance
has been continued, the municipal judge shall declare the bond forfeited,
except that, if it appears to the court that justice does not require the
enforcement of the forfeiture, the court may set the same aside upon such
conditions as the court may impose. Where the forfeiture of a bond has
become final, the court shall direct the application of the funds or that
suitable action be instituted for the collection from the sureties thereon
or from the accused person.
