Quality kinda guy: At the age of 15, Chapman joined the Devils Diciples, an outlaw motorcycle club, and ran away from home.[7][3] In 1976, Chapman was convicted of first degree murder, and sentenced to five years in a Texas prison. He had been waiting in a getaway car while his friend shot and killed Jerry Oliver, 69,[10] in a struggle during a deal to buy cannabis.[11] Chapman served 18 months at the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas. While he was in prison, his first wife LaFonda divorced him and married his best friend. During his incarceration, he did field work and acted as the warden's barber. In a 2007 interview for Fox News, Chapman claimed that while serving his sentence, he tackled an inmate about to be shot for attempting to escape, and a congratulatory remark by a corrections officer inspired him to become a bounty hunter later.[12] Chapman was paroled in January 1979.[13] As a result of his felony conviction, Chapman is not permitted to own any firearms, and has been refused entry to the United Kingdom.[11]
