Hailstone was sentenced to prison in 2017 for an event that occurred in 2011.
His family was once embroiled in a fight with fellow Norrvic residents. Jonathan, his younger step-son, and Tinmiaq, his eldest daughter, got into a fight with them.
The people involved in the altercation, including Chip’s stepson, were apprehended by the troopers. The enraged couple and their daughter Tinmiaq proceeded to the Trooper’s station in vengeance, saying their son was innocent.
During the conversation, one of the troops captured Tinmiaq, who appeared to be assaulting. Hailstone accused one of the policemen, Christopher Bitz, of beating his daughter despite the fact that they left her after an interview.
In addition, he requested a restraining order against Bitz.
However, the situation did not turn out as Chip had hoped, as the officer assigned to examine the allegations ruled in favor of Bitz. Chip was then charged with two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements under oath.
As a result, Hailstone spent 15 months in prison in 2017, missing the filming of Life Before Zero’s tenth season. Agnes took care of the family while he was away, even going hunting with her daughters to provide food for the family.
