HONOLULU -- The wife of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" reality TV star Duane "Dog" Chapman won't have a role in helping select the next chief of the Honolulu Police Department. Commission Chairman Max Sword made headlines earlier this month by nominating Beth Chapman, touting her experience in the bail bonds business. Commissioner Luella Costales agreed that the panel has become a distraction in the chief selection process, but said she's hopeful there will still be some form of community input. A citizen panel was used to help select chiefs in 2004 and 2009, according to commission Executive Officer Dan Lawrence. The Chapmans, who live in Honolulu, later starred in "Dog and Beth: On the Hunt," which aired on Country Music Television.
