He was getting himself in trouble constantly and was heavy into weed, which led to him leaving his mother's house and moving in with his friend Russ.

was independent and had a job (so to speak). After the bikers got into robbing electronics from the mall, things got pretty complicated for Chappie. His friend Russ informed his that he was thinking about stealing some electronics from the bikers stash and selling it for himself. For weeks, Russ stole a VCR here, a TV there and soon Bruce realized that the piles weren't as high as they should have been. Bruce also realized that Russ was missing that was unusual, so he went after Chappie. Bruce tied him up and put him in Russ's room almost all day. Then, out of nowhere, Russ came in the room through the window like he usually does and untied Chappie. Chappie quickly filled him in on what happened. What Russ and Chappie didn't notice was that Chappie accidentally knocked over the space heater and the place caught on fire. The Bikers, Russ and Chappie escaped safely, however, Bruce ran back in not knowing that Chappie was freed and died in the fire.
