Next thing they knew, they had become the very fugitives fleeing bondsmen they were trying to catch. The men including Leland decided not to return to Mexico to answer the charges. This ultimately meant they violated the conditions of their bail, the exact thing Leland hunted people down for. Later, the U.S. Marshals at the request of the Mexican authorities arrested and detained all three men. They waited in U.S. custody to be extradited to Mexico to answer for the charges. Eventually, they were sent back to Mexico where they spent some time in jail for practicing bounty hunting during their previous visit. On August 4, 2007, the Mexican government announced that the charges against the bounty hunters would be dropped. The charges had become more hassle than they were worth and the right payments were made.
Leland, along with his brother, Duane Lee and half-brother Wesley, began a venture called Chapbros Media. This is one of those ideas you come up with when you are really drunk and it sounds great. The venture basically had a website which dealt with launching an internet-based talent contest which the two brothers thought was a brilliant idea. They named the contest "Show Off" but neither really had the expertise in talent management or show production to make the whole thing work. Needless to say, the company ultimately was not successful and was a miserable failure.
Leland did, however, go on to become a TV star himself after becoming a mainstay on the hit bounty hunter show with the legendary Dog the bounty hunter. Leland went on to appear in dozens of episodes of the television series, Dog The Bounty Hunter. Leland was in episodes of Dog the Bounty Hunter that aired from 2003 to 2012. He also appeared in a similar series documenting the adventures of Dog but this time with his wife in the hit show Dog and Beth: On The Hunt from 2013 to 2016. Another film credit of Leland's includes a 2006 made-for-TV movie called Dog: The Family Speaks.
In 1995, Leland Chapman married the love of his life, Maui Chapman. The Chapmans went on to have two sons together named Dakota and Cobie. Their marriage was short lived however and at about the same age Leland was when his father divorced, he too divorced his wife. Leland and Maui were divorced on April 25, 2005, leading to the beginning of a rocky road for his sons. After trying and failing to make their relationship work, Leland eventually moved on and had a brief relationship with a woman named Lynette Yi. He went on to have a daughter with Lynette Yi and they named her Leiah Breanna. In 2016, Chapman fell in love with yet another woman and decided to marry her. Her name was Jamie Pilar Chapman. Leland Chapman currently operates his own bail bonds company known as Kama'aina Bail Bonds. Leland also runs his dad's business Da Kine Bail Bonds located on the Big Island of Hawaii.
