You never know who you’re going to bump into at your local convenience store in Southwest Florida.

Maybe a neighbor, a colleague or even a reality star.

Yes. Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman shops at Wawa, and was spotted at a Punta Gorda location the other day.

In a Facebook post from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, Chapman poses with a smiling deputy inside the store, flashing the rock and roll hand signal.

The Denver native, who recently moved to Florida from Colorado, confirmed he was pleased about relocating out of a freezing, snow-filled area in the dead of winter.

“We have moved to the sunny state of Florida and are enjoying the warmer weather,” the former bail bondsman told the New York Post in December. “Aloha.”

(Down here, we say “Bro,” or “Dale,” but it’s OK, he’ll learn.)

The move comes a year after the widower got married to his sixth wife, rancher Francie Frane.

Like many Sunshine State residents, Chapman does a lot of driving.

On the TV star’s Instagram, he posted a picture of himself at yet another gas station, this one a Mobil, posing with an older gentleman.

“Wow, I’m going to be famous,” jokes the caption.
