Career

In 1977, Dog Chapman, former gang member, was convicted to 5 years in prison for the first degree murder of Jeremy Oliver. Dog Chapman's career as a bounty hunter began years later when a judge offered to pay his child support if Chapman captured a fugitive. In 2004, Chapman was offered his own reality show. The show followed Chapman and his associates chasing down criminals and in their private lives. The show was put on hiatus in October of 2007 after the National Enquirer obtained an audio tape of Chapman repeatedly using a racial slur in a conversation with his son, Tucker.
