Chapman explained that he had taken a break so that he could take care of his four youngest children. He additionally was addressing the fallout from his second arrest.

Tim Chapman’s first arrest was on September 14, 2006. Police arrested him along with Duane “Dog” Chapman and Leland Chapman by U.S. Marshals at the request of the Mexican government. Moreover, the trio was to be deported to Mexico to face charges of “deprivation of liberty”.

The charges arose from an incident where Chapman, Dog, and Leland were after a fugitive and serial rapist Andrew Luster, the Max Factor Cosmetics heir.

On June 18, 2003, they captured Andrew in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Shortly after the capture, Puerto Vallarta police officers arrested Chapman, Dog, and Leland. Consequently, they posted bail but never returned to Mexico for their court hearing.

The trio was freed from custody on bail; Chapman and Leland’s bail was set at $100,000 each, while Dog’s was set at $300,000. After their release, all three were fitted with electronic bracelets, and were ordered to surrender their passports, and not leave the state of Hawaii.

Chapman’s second arrest occurred In January 2008. Prosecutors charged the bounty hunter with first-degree “terroristic threatening”. The charges stem from an incident at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition, the police charged Chapman with indecent exposure.

Police and prosecutors declared that security guards recognized Chapman from his role as the show Dog the Bounty Hunter. The guards then responded to a report of a man fondling himself in a vehicle at a parking lot on January 3, 2008, at around 9 P.M.

Tim Chapman testified that he drove into the Bank of Hawaii parking lot at Ala Moana Center to change his jeans after he spilled some orange juice. He then demonstrated in court with the cup in evidence how he went to grab it but instead hit it. The bounty hunter added that hitting the cup caused it to tip and the orange juice just spilled everywhere.
