"TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping three years ago"
"he charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Villarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington.
Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country after being convicted of raping three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on A&E."
" Chapman's son Leland, 29, and Timothy Chapman, 41, no relation, assist Chapman in exploits chronicled for the TV show around the Hawaiian Islands. The show focuses on Chapman's family as much as the bounty hunting, which generally involves tracking down bail jumpers, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives."
" Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said."
WTF is going on here?
My thought's exactly. THEY won't raise a finger to help us.
I don't see why the U.S. doesn't make an exception in their case since Mexico won't even return actual murderers to us. Give them a taste of what it feels like. Why are we always the suckers?
I wouldn't honor any requests from Mexico if bounty hunting to return a fleeing criminal is against the law. Tell them "Teresa Heinz" (shove it).
$$$$$ talks BS walks, it is pay back time.
They say we can't deport 12,000 illegals......Give Dog a crack at 'em! Hire bounty hunters (or repo men) and they'll get the job done!
The Hawaii judge who issued a warrant for his arrest, is a traitor.
The US Marshall who arrested him, is a traitor.
I'm so disgusted by these truly evil individuals who betray our own people......words fail me.
I've watched Dog on his show; I can't figure out if he is honest or just another publicity freak
