Attorney General sues Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman’s bail bond company
STAR-ADVERTISER / FEB. 2014
Da Kine, which Duane “Dog” Chapman heads as president and director, owes the state $35,000 from 21 separate criminal cases, according to a news release issued this afternoon by the Attorney General’s Office.
The state Attorney General’s Office has filed petitions to collect $35,500 from Da Kine Bail Bonds, Inc. and Safety National Casualty Corporation for forfeited bail bonds the companies failed to pay to the state.
Da Kine, which Duane “Dog” Chapman heads as president and director, owes the state $35,000 from 21 separate criminal cases, according to a news release issued this afternoon by the Attorney General’s Office. Safety National serves as the surety that’s obligated to pay if Da Kine defaults.
“Bail bond companies promise to pay us when their clients skip court. Simply put, if they don’t pay we have to hunt down that money,” Attorney General Doug Chin said in the release.
A bail bonding agency works with the court to have a criminal defendant released from jail pending trial in exchange for money or collateral, which can include cash, assets, or a bond. The bail agency is then responsible for ensuring that the defendant arrives in court on the day of trial.
If the defendant does not appear in court, the court may forfeit the bond and the entire bail amount must be paid to the court by the bail bonding agency.
The state Judiciary and the Department of the Attorney General recently sued various bail bond companies for non-payment of forfeiture of bail bonds. In response, seven have paid the Judiciary a total of about $700,000 upon receiving notice.

This guy is a phony … his wife /Beth? is even worse …
agree and I said so 4 years ago. Shibai artist who goes out and brings in very low- level criminals on drugs. He has failed to bring anyone really dangerous in and he looks afraid most of the time.
I hope they get ALL the money from this slimeball.
Book um Dan O!
one company post bond, gets the juice and the other gets the bounty for capture. ingenius..
Put Dog on the case, he’ll hunt this dog down and collect the money from himself.
lol
Not if his wife has anything to say about this matter. $35k buys a lot of plastic surgery.
Hey that’s my line. Shuck’s!
He should have donated money to the Clinton foundation.
Dog & wife Beth poor examples of aloha trying to represent Hawaii. These scum bags need to move out of Hawaii completely and go live somewhere else. We don’t need these type of pilau haoles in Hawaii!
agree..they in no way represent Hawaii or its people. They are Oklahoma workign class. Very different group, different values, ideas, etc.
Why don’t they just pay the money if they owe it. What a sleezy couple that loves to say they are from Hawaii, huh brah?
