PHOENIX, Ariz. -- A Valley man is facing some pretty serious charges. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said he's known for running from law enforcement and keeps bonding out of jail. CBS 5 wanted to know why.

Drew Staenglen, 43, is facing weapons, drugs and explosives charges. He's been behind bars quite a few times, but he keeps skipping out on court hearings, yet the court keeps letting him bond out.

In February, the Sheriff's Office said officers tried to serve a parole violation warrant to Staenglen at his home in New River, and found guns, drugs, and sticks of dynamite tied together with wires sticking out.

They called in bomb experts, and started searching for Staenglen. They found him hiding out in the desert and arrested him.

Even though officers said Staenglen had a history of hiding from law enforcement, and was already on probation for felony theft charges, a Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner let him go on $7,500 bond.

Staenglen was arrested again Monday for failing to appear at a hearing to revoke his probation. He bonded out again Tuesday.

Lawyer Bruce Blumberg isn't representing Staenglen, but after examining the case, he said, "Traditionally bail has been denied in cases where a person's alleged to have committed a violation of probation because probation is a grant, it's a privilege in lieu of going to prison."

Blumberg has been practicing law for 30 years. He said cases like this one surprise him, but that people might not know all the circumstances.

He said there could be "overcrowding in the jail, and I don't know under what circumstances they're currently not allowing bail to probationers," he said.

CBS 5 News asked the Maricopa County Superior Court those questions, trying to find out exactly why they keep giving Staenglen the option to bond out.

Here's there response:

"It would violate the judicial ethics rules for a judicial officer or court staff to comment on a specific case. Our commissioners consider everything presented to them and make decisions based on the law."

Staenglen will be back in court next month to find out if he's going back behind bars.
