Dog the Bounty Hunter's Son Garry Wins Patrol Officer of the Year After Fatal Crash Case
Key Points:
- Garry Chapman, son of Dog the Bounty Hunter, was named ACE Interdiction's 2025 Patrol Officer of the Year for his outstanding performance as a Criminal Apprehension Specialist, based on arrests and drug seizures.
- His narcotics seizure numbers were the highest in his county in 2025, contributing to his selection for one of only three annual awards given by ACE Interdiction.
- The award is especially meaningful as Garry was nominated by fellow officers and command staff despite facing significant challenges over the past year.
- Garry’s recognition follows a controversial September 2025 high-speed chase that resulted in a fatal crash, leading to his administrative leave and firing by the Priceville Police Department.
- After appealing his termination, the city council reinstated Garry with a 10-day unpaid suspension, allowing him to return to duty.
