Tim Chapman News

We recently spoke to Tim Chapman via phone. Tim is doing well and enjoying time with his 3 small children. Dog The Bounty Hunter has been in production in Denver the majority of the last two seasons. Tim does not want to be away from his children for months at a time. Tim is very close with Dog and works his bonds off camera. According to sources, production days are up to 14 hours.

The internet is rife with rumors. There is no mystery here. Dog is a reality show, a real business. Businesses have turn over in staff.

Review of the 3 Part Series Thus Far

In the wake of all of the hype surrounding the 3 part series of DTBH episodes currently airing on A&E, we have decided to conduct a brief review to determine if the series is living up to expectations. The series starts with a straightforward premise: arrest Marco Padilla. When the initial attempt is unsuccessful, the Chapmans begin digging into Padilla’s family and friends, and the hunt spirals into a quagmire of identity theft and other fugitives who may or may not have useful information. Each lead the Chapmans obtain opens up multiple avenues of investigation, and their search ends up expanding in difficulty beyond any hunt previously aired.

What makes this series unique is how complicated the search becomes and how much the Chapmans’ entire skill set is tested. There is much more action in this series than in most of the previous episodes. In addition, there is increased participation from local law enforcement, the legal system, and local media. Prior to this series, the show was becoming stagnant. Each hunt was predictable and the show was repetitive. This series is much more involved and detailed, and helps inject new life into DTBH. We are aware that as of today, Marco Padilla remains at large. Interestingly, this does not seem to detract from the series. It is still intriguing to follow the Chapmans working a more difficult hunt than their usual fare. We look forward to seeing the concluding episode on Wednesday.

This article appeared in the press Thursday.

DENVER – A public defender is demanding that TV bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman be charged with felonies for claiming that a man fired a gun at him and his crew while they were filming in Colorado Springs last month.

Attorney William Schoewe alleges Chapman and others made up the claim to boost publicity for the A&E reality show “Dog The Bounty Hunter.” Prosecutors dropped charges against a suspect, saying the evidence was insufficient.
————————————————————-
As a taxpayer, I am outraged by this waste of public money. In tough times, should we not focus on criminals and stop wasting money on people taking criminals off the street.

As stated

DOG nor his posse nor anyone with him called Police/neighbors did

DOG did not provide information to Prosecutors. He wanted to leave this case behind and let the suspect deal with his current charges.

The crime scene was not taped off prior to search, and was swarmed by fans and onlookers.

The Fugitive was wanted by Police for a firearms felony.

You may contact William directly to let him know what you think of his waste of taxpayers money

REAL FACTS ON RECENT MEDIA REPORTS RE DOG

Real DOG facts (Orignially posted by the DTBH Website Administrator.)

Body: Shooting At Dog Incident.

Few Facts on DOG shooting report. The Media was saying DOG did that for attention.

1) No one from the Posse’ or the show called the Police about the shooting to report it, neighbors did.

2) DOG did not do it for the attention. In fact, he did not respond to requests for a statement as he did not want further charges. Fugitive was caught and it was time to move on

3) The shooting site was not roped off by police or investigators. Fans were all over the place. This was not a clean crime scene. The area was swarming with people

Also, in regards to the vehicle flipping that was being chased by DOG according to media.

1) Again, the media was not accurate. DOG was not driving or following the truck, it was in fact Beth. Odd fact was, this rollover happened on the same date, May 19th, that DOG lost his daughter Barbara a few years ago.

HONOLULU (KHNL) – A big court victory for a former co-star of the hit TV show “Dog, the Bounty Hunter.” Late Monday afternoon, an Oahu judge found Timothy Chapman not guilty of indecent exposure.

Following his acquittal, Chapman spoke with reporters and called the week-long trial a “waste of taxpayer money.”

The day starts with former reality TV star Timothy Chapman taking the witness stand in his own defense. He testifies he drove into the Bank of Hawaii parking lot at Ala Moana Center to change his jeans, after he spilled some orange juice.

“As I went to grab it, I actually hit it like that,” he demonstrated with the cup in evidence.

“And what did that cause the cup to do?” Brook Hart, defense attorney, asked.

“It caused the cup to tip and the orange juice just spilled everywhere.”

He says he first used baby wipes to mop up the juice on his genitalia.

A woman earlier testified she saw Chapman masturbating inside his parked truck.

“Defendant parked in that stall purposely to engage in the conduct for which he was charged,” Wayne Tashima, deputy prosecutor, said in his closing arguments.

But Circuit Judge Richard Perkins finds no direct evidence that the defendant was aware the woman was watching and acted intentionally. The 43-year-old is acquitted on the indecent exposure charge.

“When our school teachers need more money, and we gotta reach in the tail to give them, we gotta reach inside the till to give them more money, the only thing we grab out for them is more excuses,” Chapman said after the verdict. “And maybe this is part of the reason why. This is a blatant waste of taxpayer money.”

Chapman says he would love to return to the hit TV show someday.

“It’s been a long year,” he said. “The only thing I really want to do right now is, I haven’t seen my kids in two weeks, just go home to my children.”

The judge in the jury-waived trial already found the defendant not guilty of the more serious charge of terroristic threatening last week. Prosecutors had said when security officers arrived at the scene that night, Chapman started his truck and sped off, nearly hitting one of guards.

Tim Chapman Blasts Prosecution

HONOLULU – The reality-show sidekick of Duane “Dog” Chapman was acquitted of indecent exposure Monday. 

Tim Chapman took the stand to claim it was all a misunderstanding which began with spilled orange juice. 

The indecency and threatening charges against Tim Chapman could not have come at a worse time. Last January, the Bounty Hunter show was off the air because of the “Dog’s” racial comments and his wife Beth had warned the cast to stay away from bad press or else. 

Chapman said he pulled into an Ala Moana parking space so he could privately clean up after spilling orange juice on his lap. 

“I looked out the front windshield to make sure there wasn’t anybody around the truck before I did that,” Chapman said. 

But he was wrong. A woman witnessed his baby wipe bath. 

“I took another wipe, proceeded to wipe down again up down on both sides,” Chapman said. 

He said he fled the scene when because he thought arriving security guards would call the media. Beth Chapman had warned him against publicity just two days before. 

“I thought uh this is exactly what she told us not to do — involvement with the media,” Chapman said. 

“Would a guy then go off and risk his entire life two days later by exposing himself in a public parking lot?” said defense attorney Brook Hart. 

But prosecutors argued Chapman could have chosen a more private place and fleeing made him look guilty. But Judge Richard Perkins, who earlier threw out a terroristic threatening felony charge, said prosecutors didn’t prove he intentionally exposed himself. 

“Given that, I find you not guilty,” said Perkins. 

Chapman came out blasting the prosecution. 

“What a blatant waste of taxpayers’ dollars, just incredible,” Chapman said. 

Deputy prosecutor Wayne Teshima said based on the evidence he believes that Chapman did expose himself. 

“I still believe that, yes,” Teshima said. 

Chapman said now that he is acquitted he’d love to get back on the television show, but he said the main reason he fought the charge was because a conviction would have made it harder to win custody of his two children

Chapman is acquitted

The state fails to prove he purposely exposed himself, a judge rules

A state judge found reality television show star Timothy Chapman not guilty yesterday of indecent exposure.

Bounty Hunter Sidekick Testifies

 

Tim Chapman was acquitted of indecent exposure taking the stand to claim it was all a misunderstanding.

Circuit Judge Richard Perkins found that the state did prove Chapman exposed his genitals to a woman in a parking lot near Ala Moana Center on Jan. 3, 2008. But he said the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Chapman was aware the woman saw him.

According to state law, a person commits the offense of indecent exposure if he intentionally exposes his genitals to someone other than his spouse in the likelihood that the exposure will cause affront.

The woman had testified that she saw Chapman masturbating in the front seat of his pickup truck and notified Ala Moana Center security.

Chapman said he removed his trousers to wipe spilled orange juice off himself, including his genitals, using disposable moist towelettes he cupped in his hand.

Perkins had earlier dismissed a felony terroristic threatening charge against Chapman because he said the state did not present evidence that Chapman communicated a threat to terrorize or harm an Ala Moana Center security guard when he drove his pickup truck in the security guard’s direction.

Chapman testified he fled because he heard one of the responding security guards tell the other one to call a local television station, and he did not want to expose himself to negative media attention.

He said he is pleased with the judge’s verdict and called the city’s prosecution of him “a blatant waste of taxpayer dollars.”

Deputy Prosecutor Wayne Tashima said the state pursued the charges against Chapman because it felt it had the evidence to convict him.

Indecent exposure is a petty misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

But Chapman suggested the stakes were much higher.

He was a cast member on the show “Dog the Bounty Hunter.” He shares the last name of but is not related to the show’s main character, Duane “Dog” Chapman.

Timothy Chapman said he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on the show but has not been on the air since the show resumed last year, because of his pending criminal charges. Because of his acquittal yesterday, he said he can now discuss his possible return to the show.

But he said his overriding concern in fighting the charges was his children.

His wife filed for divorce last week and for custody of their two children. He said he felt the state was trying to take his children away from him.
