Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Cop Son Sues Police Dept. For ‘Retaliatory’ Firing
Dog the Bounty Hunter
Cop Son Sues Dept. That Fired Him
Published
Dog the Bounty Hunter‘s son Garry Chapman — who was fired, then reinstated, from a police force in Alabama last year — is suing the department … He says they only disciplined him to teach him a lesson for calling out a dirty cop.
Remember … Chapman’s employment was terminated last year after his involvement in a fatal high-speed car chase. He was later reinstated, but he says he should’ve never been fired in the first place.
In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Chapman alleges the police department, along with Priceville, Alabama, Mayor Sam Heflin, used the tragic incident as an opportunity to smear his name and get rid of him — something Chapman alleges they were working on for some time.
Chapman claims it started when he filed a formal complaint regarding the unprofessional conduct of a fellow officer. In the papers, Chapman alleges the departmental leadership dismissed the complaint, questioning why he was so concerned with the actions of another officer, and began to drudge up “previously undisclosed, minor issues to begin papering his personnel file.”
In the documents, Chapman claims things escalated when he blew the whistle on an officer who intended to take a departmental K-9 as his personal pet when he left the department.
When the tragic accident came along, Chapman says the mayor and police department purposefully made him the face of it, thus vilifying him and causing him “catastrophic reputational harm.”
Chapman says he subsequently lost out on a promotion and has been unable to secure other employment in law enforcement because no agency wants to hire an officer whose name is in national headlines for a fatal incident.
He’s asking for compensatory damages “in an amount to be determined by the jury.”

Sydney Sweeney, Scooter Braun, Jared Leto & More…
Flock to Star-Studded Wedding
Published
Actress Georgie Flores wed her longtime love, Luis Galindo, Saturday night … and the guest list was absolutely stacked!
Sydney Sweeney, Scooter Braun, Jared Leto and Riley Keough all made an appearance for the couple’s nuptials at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas over the weekend.
Georgie and Luis exchanged vows at David “Papi” Einhorn and David Grutman‘s Papi Steak, and later toasted with shots of Clase Azul Reposado as they partied into the night.
The bride looked stunning, of course, in a white pantsuit adorned with sequins and feathers, fully glowing alongside Luis.
And while Georgie and Luis cemented their love, another was continuing to blossom.
We’re told Sydney and Scooter looked very much in love, stealing kisses between courses.
In November, the “Christy” actress and music honcho were snapped doing some heavy petting in NYC. The two locked lips in front of photographers, while posted up on a rock in Central Park.
Congratulations, Georgie and Luis! And we got our eye on you, too, Sydney and Scooter!

Desmond Scott Sets Up New Kitchen Amid Ugly Divorce
Published
Desmond Scott is getting whisked away following his split from estranged wife Kristy Scott … after being spotted mid-makeout last week, he posted a video Sunday showing him appearing to set up a new kitchen.
He wrote, “Back in the kitchen this week,” captioning a video of him stocking the empty space with appliances and groceries.
In the comments section he added … “Also, I’ve read every message and yall have no idea how much ya boy love yall.”
We broke the story … Kristy filed for divorce in Harris County, Texas — citing alleged infidelity and making it crystal clear there’s zero chance of reconciliation.
Then, just days later, Desmond, 32, was caught at a Houston bar locking lips with 24-year-old model Marissa Springer. Springer is reportedly studying to get a master’s degree in business, but that night she looked like she was going for a doctorate in PDA!
Since the split, Desmond has owned up to making “choices” he says he’s “not proud of.” But it looks like he’s not letting things get him down too much!

Penn took to Facebook to announce the news Saturday, writing, “We are sorry to have to cancel this weekend’s shows. I broke my ankle yesterday and on doctor’s orders, I am not able to do the show.”
He added … “Thanks so much for understanding and we hope to see you soon.”
Of course, the iconic duo has been wowing audiences for 50 years now, performing nearly 300 live shows every year. Their show was called “The single best show in Vegas” by the Los Angeles Times, and their hit series “Penn & Teller: Fool Us!” — where up-and-coming magicians try to fool the famous pair — has been renewed for a 12th season.
The good news is, tickets are still on sale for this upcoming weekend, suggesting Penn expects a quick recovery.
Next week, they’re expected in Fort Myers, Florida.
