Duane Lee Chapman II (born January 21, 1973 in Pampa, Texas, USA) is an American bail bondsman and bounty hunter, most noted for his role on A&E TV's Dog the Bounty Hunter, in which he, along with his father Duane "Dog" Chapman, and various friends and family track down and capture wanted fugitives.

Personal life and career

Duane Lee Chapman II was born the second son of Duane "Dog" Chapman and Dog's first wife, LaFonda Sue Darnall (née Honeycutt). When Duane Lee was three years old, his father was sent to prison. During Dog's incarceration, Duane Lee's parents divorced; he did not see his father again until he was eleven years old, when Dog gained visitation rights to see him and his brother Leland.

Duane Lee spent his early years in Pampa, Texas, but moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in his teen years. When he was seventeen, Duane Lee was kicked out of school. Meanwhile at home, Duane Lee was fighting with his stepfather, resulting in his mother's sending him to live with his father.

Duane Lee works for his father, Duane "Dog" Chapman, at their family's bail bonds company, Da Kine Bail Bonds. Other family members working for the company include Beth Chapman (née Smith; Dog's current wife), Leland Chapman (Dog's son/Duane Lee's brother), and "Baby" Lyssa Chapman (Dog's daughter/Duane Lee's half-sister), among others.

Duane Lee has recently[when?] embarked on a new business venture with two of his brothers. Together they have formed Media, and have launched an iPhone, iPod Touch, and website talent contest application.
