1. If, however, there is a just reason to fear the commission of the offense, the person complained of may be required to enter into a bond, in such sum, not exceeding $5,000, as the magistrate may direct, with one or more sufficient sureties, to keep the peace toward the people of this State, and particularly toward the complainant.
2. The bond shall be valid and binding for 6 months, and may, upon the renewal of the complaint, be extended for a longer period or a new bond may be required.
