Chapman was arrested by the Chatham County Sheriff’s Department and was charged with one count of domestic criminal trespassing, one count of assault on a female and one count of battery of an unborn child. He was released on a written promise to appear in court on Oct. 19, according to Lt. Sara Pack , the Chatham County Sheriff's Dept. Public Information Officer.
