MSNBC's Rita Cosby is reporting that Duane Dog Chapman, star of the A&E reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," and two members of his bounty hunting team (including his son) were arrested by U.S. officials today for extradition to Mexico. Cosby is reporting that Mexican government officials wanted the three men sent back there in relation to a three-year-old case.
In 2003, Chapman traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to retrieve Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges. Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term. The Chapmans were jailed in Mexico for a brief time for the incident three years ago. Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.
Dog's wife, Beth Chapman, said 12 armed marshals "came through the door" at 6:00AM this morning. She said they took their daughter's boyfriend down at gunpoint. Dog was sleeping at the time.
TMZ spoke with Nicky Credic from the U.S. Marshals Office. She said, "The arrest warrant was signed by a U.S. magistrate in Hawaii on September 13. The warrant was based on a formal request based on a diplomatic note from the government of Mexico."

Treating US Citizens like this is BS. Take them out at gunpoint? WTF?
To: Fighting Irish
Something tells me:
1)the "judge" is a Clinton Democrat, while Dog is a Bush fan and Conservative.
2) He is basically going to be held for "ransom." Watch for a large amount of money to be mentioned, or some other consideration that will be "helpful" to Me-hi-co.

She said they took their daughter's boyfriend down at gunpoint. It does not appear that the "Dog Family" believed in Family Values.

They are just going through the motions...
Dog has money, so he will pay....
End of story....

Yeah, the couldn't fine him.
All that Max Factor make-up money can buy a lot of "Mexican Official Blindness".
The Mexican government has 100 times more whores than all of Tijuana.

I do have a problem with anyone who refuses to extradite to the U.S.. But I especially have a problem with Mexico as we take in their poor and send them money.
And what do they do for us?

Perhaps this was for a Cross Over Episode of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and "Cops."
Kinda like when the Jetson's met the Flintstone's

Beth is the ONLY person he's afraid of! I'm sure he'd rather deal with Mexican police than a po'd Beth!

We extradite him when the Mexican Govt requests. But they wont send back one of theirs if they kill someone here. And don't forget, the Chapmans were jailed in Mexico for a brief time for the incident three years ago. They've already done the time for this so-called "crime".
I hope the US Marshall's office catches hell for this. It's ridiculous.
