The California native is a single father and is said to have retired from bounty hunting altogether. He divorced his wife Davina Chapman in 2009 for allegedly cheating on him and has not been in a public relationship since.
The Legal Troubles That Prompted Tim Chapman’s Absence From Dog the Bounty Hunter
Tim Chapman was a regular cast member of the show until he was arrested in 2008 after an incident that occurred at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. While it is not clear what exactly transpired, prosecutors charged the bounty hunter with first-degree “terroristic threatening” and indecent exposure after it was reported that a man was fondling himself in a vehicle at a parking lot in the area.
Chapman was eventually acquitted and released after a short court case. But while he managed to avoid prison time, his marriage did not survive the ordeal as his spouse Davinanatasha Faletoi ended things with him, causing him to take more time off the show to tender to family matters.
As earlier mentioned, this was not Tim’s first run-in with the law. In 2003, he and his co-workers were arrested in Mexico after unlawfully entering the country and “arresting” an American fugitive. The crew was later released on bail but they fled the country following the advice of their attorney and never returned for their court hearing. This meant that they became international bail-jumpers.
Years later in 2006, the trio who jumped bail in Mexico were arrested and jailed by the United States Marshals on behalf of the Mexican government who charged them with “deprivation of liberty” because bounty hunting was illegal in Mexico. The Mexican government subsequently tried to get them extradited to Mexico for sentencing but the bounty hunters fought hard against it, starting a media campaign that got American government officials involved.
Eventually, a criminal court in Mexico in 2007 dismissed all criminal charges against Tim, Duane, and Leland because of the expiry of the statute of limitations.
