Walton County Undersheriff Bill Chapman is taking some heat today after his son was arrested on domestic violence charges.
According to the arrest affidavit, Greg Chapman punched his live-in girlfriend yesterday.
He was arrested and booked into the Walton County Jail. While most people would spend the night in jail, Chapman was rushed through the system in about 3-hours.
A judge released him on a recognizance bond.
Authorities say Chapman received different treatment because he's a former law enforcement officer.
"There are safety concerns whenever a former law enforcement officer is arrested. The jail is not run by us so I couldn't speak to those procedures. However, generally in the law enforcement community, whenever a law enforcement officer is arrested we have to take particular concerns and measures to ensure his safety" says Captain Shepard Bruner of the Walton County Sheriff's Office.
We couldn't even get a mug shot of Greg Chapman because of the state statute that protects the privacy of former or current law enforcement officers.

bill chapman sould be fired for going above and calling the judge to get his son greg out of jail that is not his job to do that .if it is he sould call the judge for everyone.
Will Judge Wells release him the next time when he shoves her, (she or his next female victim) strikes her head and dies? He should have been placed in solitary & treated like all others arrested. His father can not fix his son & should allow him to receive the full brunt of the law. Otherwise there will be a next time with possibly a death. By protecting him, they are enablers!!
I can't imagine a law enforcement officer (Past or Present) beating up on women. Would like to think they did not beat women or men. Feel sorry for her kids who were there when it happened...Very Traumatic for a child to see someone attacking & beating their mother...Might be good idea for the Kids talk to a counselor
