He arrived in bounty hunting career while he was in court, for the trial of his child support. He was unable to pay the compensation, but the judge offered him a deal. Under that deal, he had to bring in a fugitive in return to pay a fraction of Chapman's child maintenance for Leland Chapman and Duane Lee. He was then a father of five children named Barbara Kate, Leland Chapman, Tucker, Duane Lee Chapman and Baby Lyssa.

However, he had to return to his home town for the long stay after his mother’s death. While being in his home town Chapman along with his wife Alice Barmore, both moved to Hawaii to launch another workplace in downtown Honolulu. Soon he was recorded to arrest more than 6,000 people.
