Syllabus

Bail Bond Surety Good Cause R.C. 2937.36(C). A surety's inability to locate a defendant who has absconded on bond does not constitute a situation in which performance of the surety-bond contract has been rendered an impossibility. Accordingly, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by ordering the bond forfeited even where the surety argued that associates of the defendant were helping him to remain at large.
