Page "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Paragraph 21

On April 21, 2009, during filming of Season 7, Chapman was allegedly shot at with a handgun while his crew, along with bail bondsman Bobby Brown, were attempting to arrest a fugitive named Hoang Nguyen in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The suspect escaped on a motorcycle and was captured by Chapman about six hours later.

This is contrary to evidence shown in the A & E airing of the episode titled " Easy Rider ", on December 16, 2009.

According to Chapman's website and TMZ, Nguyen was arrested and charged with attempted homicide related to the shooting attempt of Chapman and the Chapman family.

On May 15, 2009, the El Paso County, Colorado Assistant District attorney dropped the attempted murder charge against the alleged shooter due to lack of evidence and conflicting statements by Chapman, his son Leland, and bail bondsman Bobby Brown.

The prosecutors also state that they have not received the requested video footage from the incident, which was allegedly filmed by the television crew.

In March 2011, Nguyen filed a lawsuit against Chapman, Brown, and Chapman's sons Duane Chapman II and Leland Chapman.

In the lawsuit, Nguyen claims he lost his job as a result of the incident and had to relocate.

He also says he was injured by pepper pellets that were allegedly fired at him.

Chapman's attorney, James A. Quadra, told Celebrity Crime Reporter the lawsuit has no basis " in law or fact ".

The lawsuit was in mediation the first week of March 2011 with a trial date on November 28, 2011.
