Avoid Maro's Bounty (PC):

Since the bounty is awarded after you get to a certain point on the bridge you get stuck at (you can't fast travel, you can't jump off from the side and the door is locked behind you) and you cannot avoid Maro (the bounty giver) through sneaking or invisibility potions/spells, there is only one way to escape the bounty and Maro:

1. Without meeting Maro at the edge of the bridge, press tilde key. (Open console)

2. Type "coc riverwood" without the quotes. (It could even be "coc kynesgrove" or "coc windhelm", for all I care.)

3. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

I don't know if this is because I had the Unofficial Skyrim Patch or not, but for me it automatically finished the "Escape the tower!" achievement and the next achievement to defend the Falkreath sanctuary came up. With this, I was able to escape with no bounty from Maro and finish the questline.

How to avoid getting a bounty in the Mede decoy's room: don't use the Jarrin Root.
