Dog the Bounty Hunter’s son was temporarily relieved of his law enforcement duties after he was involved in a high-speed chase that killed a teenage boy in Alabama over the weekend.

Priceville police officer Garry Chapman was put on administrative leave Sunday, one day after the deadly two-vehicle crash in Hartselle, Priceville Mayor Sam Heflin told AL.com. He will remain sidelined pending the outcome of an investigation, as is standard procedure for any officers involved in a major incident.

Tristan Hollis, 17, was killed from the injuries he sustained in the crash, which also left five others injured. Police said it occurred Saturday around 8:30 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 36 and U.S. 31, after Chapman attempted to initiate a traffic stop with a suspected drunk driver, identified as Archie Hale. Instead of pulling over, though, Hale attempted to flee, sparking a chase. It came to an end only after Hale’s vehicle slammed into Hollis’ minivan.

Six people — including Hollis, Hale, Hale’s passenger, and three other boys also in the minivan — were all rushed to the hospital, where Hollis died a short time later, WHNT reported. The rest of their conditions were not provided.

“This is a complex and in-depth investigation,” Hartselle Police Chief Alan McDearmond told the outlet. “As such, it will take time and will not be concluded in the near future.”

Hale has not yet been charged in connection with the crash, but police said they plan to file in the near future.

Chapman is the son of the 24-year-old son of Alice and Duane Chapman, who stars as Dog the Bounty Hunter on his eponymous reality show.
