Second Arrest
In January 2008 prosecutors charged Tim Chapman with first-degree "terroristic threatening" following an incident at the Ala Moana Center, Honolulu. He is also charged with indecent exposure. Police and prosecutors said security guards recognized Chapman from the reality television series Dog the Bounty Hunter when they responded to a report of a man in a vehicle fondling himself at a parking lot around 9 P.M. January 3, 2008.[3] Police said the guard instructed Chapman to put his clothes on and step out of the vehicle. He then jumped to the front and got in the drivers seat and turned toward the security officer, said Jim Fulton, spokesman for the city prosecutors office. He allegedly accelerated the truck and jumped the curb onto the sidewalk. The security guard had to jump out of the way, Fulton said.
His lawyer, Brook Hart, said the incident was a misunderstanding. Hart said Chapman spilled juice or soda on his pants and went to the back seat of his truck, which has dark tinted windows, to change his pants when security guards started yelling at him to get out. He said Chapman, to avoid negative publicity, made the mistake of attempting to drive away. Hart said he had no intent of terrorizing or threatening anyone. "It was simply a man who wet his pants with orange juice inadvertently and was changing them, doing nothing wrong at all and believing he had sufficient privacy to do it", Hart said.[3]
Because of his actions, the reality TV star was initially arrested on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder and indecent exposure when he turned himself in Friday, January 11. In court, Jason Wessel, the security guard who responded to the reports of a man fondling himself in his car, told the judge he was afraid for his life.[4] He said Chapman tried to hit him with his truck after he told Chapman to get out of his vehicle. Wessel said Chapman dove into his back seat when security approached and when told to get out of his truck he sped off just missing the security guard. Prosecutors said he was aiming at him. Chapman's attorney used pictures of tire tracks to try to prove Chapman was just trying to avoid a newspaper stand. "I think that what you have in front of you - the exhibits showing the parallel tracks in the space - shows the vehicle went straight ahead and not towards any person including Mr. Wessel," said Chapman's attorney Brook Hart.
Chapman's next court date for the terroristic threatening charges was set for January 24. On January 29, 2009, the threatening charges were dropped.[5] On February 2, 2009, Chapman was acquitted of indecent exposure.
