The law enforcing Chapman family exemplify
family values and teamwork on and off of their reality show.
Anyone can see that by their circle of prayer before they
head out to bring in someone they probably knew on an old
warrant for pot or maybe spousal abuse. Having been down
those roads, a lecture is almost certain to follow during
the drive to the pokey.
It also seems to pay very well, judging by the gorgeous
home in Hawaii.
This year alone could read like a copy of "Why Do Bad Things
Happy To Good People… and Bounty Hunters Too." The most
dramatic event until now being "The Dog’s adventure in
Mexico." He followed millionaire Max Factor heir and serial
rapist Andrew Luster to Mexico and was heading back to the
US with him, when he learned that Mexico hates Bounty
hunters worse than ex-patriot rapists, and put HIM in a cell
for a change. Beth saved the day and the Dog walks among us
once more. He no sooner got out than he got in trouble for
using the "N" word in a taped phone call yes, it’s been
quite a year and ’08 is shaping up nicely.
Much more recently and sadly for Dog posse member Timothy
Chapman, (no relation) he presumably wasn’t praying when a
security guard spotted him fondling himself in a parking lot
on Kona street.
Seeing the guard, Chapman rushed to pull up his pants,
jumped into the front seat, and in all of the excitement,
started his vehicle, jumping the curb and narrowly missing
hitting the Ala Moana security guard!
Timothy and his attorney maintain that it’s all a
misunderstanding, and that he had been sipping orange juice
– yes, wholesome, nutritious, orange juice which
spilled…accounting for his clothesless condition.
One final strange note with the most supportive family in
the business, Timothy obtained his $1100 bond from a
competing bond company. So far he has only been charged with
"Terroristic Threatening", which leads me to wonder what the
arrest looked like, and whether they have set a charge of
lewd acts in public aside for the moment.
Most episodes are much more mundane with the team locating
some poor homie who is out on a warrant for a pot conviction
or domestic violence. They’re treated to a stern lecture
about living right all the way to the station. Many are
people the family or friends know, as they have a somewhat
checkered past, Dog having done time. I don’t sense
sincerity in the ever-present "sorry, bras".
