No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
Once bail has been set, the defendant or a third party can post the bail to secure the defendant's release from custody. If the defendant cannot afford to post bail, they may seek the assistance of a bail bondsman.
You can withdrawl your agreement by calling the bondsman and telling them that you no longer want to be on the bond as you feel the ``criminal'' will not show up to court. You can sign off of the bail but they may arrest your friend.
Arizona divides simple assault crimes into three misdemeanor categories, depending on the defendant's intent and whether the victim suffered injuries. Class 1 Misdemeanor Assault. Class 2 Misdemeanor Assault. Class 3 Misdemeanor Assaults. Aggravated Assault With a Deadly Weapon, Dangerous Instrument, or Simulated Weapon.
Penalties for an Assault Charge States divide assault into misdemeanors and felonies. A misdemeanor carries a potential jail term of less than one year. Felony offenses subject someone to imprisonment for a year or more. An assault involving no weapon and no serious injury is likely a misdemeanor.
