Beth Chapman Arrest Warrant Issued
Beth Chapman is learning the hard way ... you don't call another chick a whore and a slut in Colorado ... because she's now facing imminent arrest.
Beth and hubby Dog the Bounty Hunter were fishing at a lake earlier this month when a car roared by ... which didn't sit well with the famous couple and their kids. Beth allegedly began berating the teenage passenger, whom she called a tramp, a whore and a slut, among other choice words.
The situation escalated ... and Beth called 911, claiming one of the people in the party she confronted was ominously carrying a gun with his hand on the grip.
By the time cops arrived, Beth and her brood had split. But the teen filed a criminal harassment complaint. Under Colorado law, if someone taunts, challenges or uses "coarse language" against someone, it's a crime. It appears slut and whore qualify.
So cops issued a summons for Beth to appear in court on the misdemeanor harassment charge. Law enforcement tells TMZ ... they called her on her cell several times to come down to the station to pick up the summons, but she blew them off.
So police issued an arrest warrant, which means Dog could make some money by cuffing his wife and taking her to the station -- kidding.
Cops tell us ... Beth's lawyer has already contacted them, and arranged for Beth to turn herself in and accept the summons.
BTW ... Colorado cops tell us ... the guy with the gun didn't violate the law, and in Colorado you can walk into a grocery story with a gun in holster and it's perfectly legal.

Chief Keef NERDIEST 911 Call Ever 'They Were Rolling Marijuana'
This. Is. HILARIOUS ... the squarest hotel security guy ever called 911 on Chief Keef yesterday to report that the rapper and some of his black friends were "rolling marijuana" inside their hotel room, and TMZ has the audio.
The call was made from a concerned security guard at the Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter Hotel in Georgia who happened to stumble upon a bunch of nice hotel guests who happened to be partaking in some dope smoking.
During the call, the security guy alerts the 911 operator to "a bunch of gentlemen rolling marijuana and smoking ... all in the room ... the room's filled with smoke."
The security guard seems astonished ... because, "I announced myself as 'security' and they let me in the room AS IF IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER!"
The guy also warns 911 to send cops to the scene ASAP because he feared "those guys may just bolt."
He clearly doesn't understand stoners ... they're not really known for "bolting" anywhere.
Eventually, cops arrived to the room and arrested 17-year-old Chief Keef for the weed ... all thanks to the heroic actions of one really square hotel security guard.
One last thing ... did he really need to call 911? Or couldn't he just have asked the guy to stop smoking? Hmmmmm.
