Duane \u201cDog the Bounty Hunter\u201d Chapman<\/strong>\u2019s son Garry Chapman<\/strong> has been fired from the Priceville, Alabama police department after he was involved in a high-speed chase that left a teenager dead.<\/p>\n City officials said Garry\u2019s termination was determined following an internal review and was upheld by Mayor Sam Heflin, according to FOX54\/Rocket City Now<\/a><\/em>, WAFF 48<\/a><\/em> and News 19<\/a><\/em>. Garry, 24, has since appealed the decision and he is set to appear at a City Council hearing on October 14.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Supreme Court allows pursuit as long as you\u2019re assessing danger throughout the pursuit,\u201d Garry\u2019s attorney, Scott Morro<\/strong>, told FOX54<\/em> about his appeal. \u201cAnd it\u2019s unfortunate that it turned out the way it did. But Garry followed the law, and he followed the policy.<\/p>\n The attorney continued, \u201cWe hope that the City Council, after the hearing, will see it our way and recognize that Chapman is an asset to their city and not a detriment. And so hopefully he\u2019ll be reinstated.\u201d<\/p>\n Iowa Superintendent Resigns After Being Detained by ICE, Attorney Confirms<\/a><\/p>\n Garry was let go from the department following a pursuit that took place in nearby Hartselle on September 6.
