Tucker Chapman, the son of Duane "Dog" Chapman who sold the tape to the National Enquirer of his father uttering a racial slur during a perceived private phone conversation, has been arrested for violating multiple terms of his parole.

A spokeswoman for the bounty hunter and his family this morning confirmed the arrest, which was first reported by TMZ. The TMZ report said Tucker Chapman is at the O'ahu Community Correctional Center.

Mona Wood, spokeswoman for Duane and Beth Chapman, said the couple is currently in Los Angeles and will return to Honolulu this week and are not planning further interviews.

The tape that Tucker Chapman released of his conversation with his dad led to A&E halting production of the highly popular "Dog the Bounty Hunter" TV series, and the cable station also pulled all reruns off the air.

Last week, A&E announced the return of the show, stating the bounty hunter has been about second chances and he was ready for his. Production was supposed to restart this week, according to TMZ.

Excerpts from the TMZ report about Tucker Chapman follow:

Here's what went down: Our sources say two weeks after the tape surfaced, Dog learned Tucker was using drugs and threatened to expose him to his parole officer. Then the tape dropped — interesting timing.

After that, we're told, a parole officer made Tucker check in to a rehab facility, which, we hear, Tucker walked away from.

Sources tell us Tucker's parole officer executed a surprise home inspection this week, and didn't like what he found. The PO then brought Tucker in on Friday, revoked his parole and sent him to the slammer. Among his alleged violations — associating with known felons, failing a drug test and walking away from a rehab facility.

TMZ also released a statement it said received from Dog Chapman: "I am heartbroken that this has occurred, but I am relieved that my son in now in a place where he can no longer hurt himself. To my bruddahs in the system: please don't hurt my son as he knows not what he does. I love my son and wish him the best."
