GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – Surveillance videos in the Grand Junction, Colo., lobby of the sheriff’s department show people having coughing fits after a pepper-sprayed fugitive was delivered by Duane “Dog” Chapman.
The videos back up claims by the Mesa County sheriff that the star of the A&E show “Dog the Bounty Hunter” excessively pepper-sprayed the fugitive during a scuffle on July 20 and then took him in without decontaminating him. Chapman and his wife said they didn’t understand why the sheriff was upset because the suspect, Andrew Distel, was cleaned and fed.
