Bail bond baroness Beth Chapman, wife of Duane Chapman, aka “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” won her National Bail Bonds Association presidential bid Wednesday afternoon during the 32nd annual convention at the Luxor.
Votes were being tallied at the same time a new bill was advanced in Congress to outlaw all bail bondsmen.
“It was a narrow victory,” Beth told me Wednesday as she accepted the mantle of president. “My plate is going to be full fighting that bill in Washington, D.C.”
“We are one of the oldest professions in the world, and we fulfill a very valid purpose. We certainly shouldn’t be outlawed and have 15,000 offices shut down coast to coast.
“I will fight — and fight hard — to keep our profession going and growing. We tackle criminals who deserve to be behind bars for breaking the law. We become the voice of their victims who are often forgotten.”
Beth and her husband posed for photographs with fans in the Luxor when the couple, who live in Hawaii, went off to celebrate the victory with family and friends.
