Big Law: Deputy Butterbean

 

Butterbean and Adam Hadder

 

Tuesdays, 8/8:30 PM (ET)

At 416 pounds, Eric Esch, known to the boxing world as "Butterbean," hit the heavyweight scene in the 90's like a lard-coated wrecking ball. After a successful stint in professional wrestling, he transformed himself into a fan favorite of Mixed Martial Arts fighting and his success has earned him a cult following. But now Butterbean is taking his hard earned, no-nonsense, tough guy reputation to the streets of his hometown: he's been deputized by the Walker County Sheriff's office, and he's on a one-man mission to bring back a sense of community safety… no matter how many asses he has to kick. In this new docu-reality series, BIG LAW: DEPUTY BUTTERBEAN follows "Bean" as he tries to fit in with the local police force, and his uniform.

With hundreds of calls to the station each weekend, Bean is put to the test by experienced law enforcement officers on everything from domestic disputes and narcotics raids to crowd control and drunk driving patrol. Viewers follow along as he goes through the necessary training for joining the police force, and follow him and his partner and best friend, Adam Hadder, as they patrol the streets of their hometown. At 400 pounds, this Deputy may be a little intimidating if he's the one knocking on your front door, but Bean knows what it's like to make mistakes in life, and his big heart is open to addicts and perpetrators who are trying to overcome their difficult circumstances and get their lives back on track.
