A traffic stop in DeKalb County, Alabama, turned up a child reported missing from Pennsylvania.

And the officer responsible was the son of TV’s Dog the Bounty Hunter, on his first day as a certified patrolman.

That’s according to Ider Police Chief Stephen Malone.

“Being able to make the call to this boy’s guardian, letting them know he’s safe and on his way home, is one the most rewarding parts of this job,” Malone said in a statement.

Ider police say Amanda Beiland, 37, of Ider, has been charged with interference with child custody. She also has a previous charge for chemical endangerment of a child, Malone said.

She was booked into the DeKalb County Jail Thursday morning. Bond has not yet been set.

According to Malone, the officer who stopped Beiland found a boy in the car.

The officer, Garry Chapman, is the son of Duane Chapman, otherwise known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, who earned fame for an A&E series that chronicled his life as a bounty hunter and bail bondsman.

A check uncovered that the boy had been reported missing for more than a week from Scranton, Pa. The child will be transported back to his guardian, Malone said.
