Most of the time, when a bounty hunter like Duane “Dog” Chapman finds someone who skipped bail, the bond itself isn’t worth a great deal of cash. Occasionally, like in the Andrew Luster case, the amount is incredibly high, but that’s rare. Before she died, Beth Chapman wrote one final bond for Kameron Lawhead, and it was valued at $1.5 million, which would bring a ton of cash Dog’s way.
To honor Beth, he decided to go after Lawhead, who was wanted for drug trafficking methamphetamine and heroin to Hawaii from California and Oregon. Dog took up the hunt, telling Fox News, “My tears have turned to blood.” Dog brought his son and two of his brothers to try and find Lawhead, but in the end, it was the Hawaiian authorities who apprehended him.
Police found Lawhead in an Orange County, California shopping center parking lot in August 2020. A standoff ensued, but in the end, police brought him in without violence. When he was arrested, Lawhead had in his possession a loaded gun, a kilo of heroin, thousands in cash, and more was later found inside his home.
