Luster's arrest came in dramatic fashion early Wednesday morning while a legal liaison for the FBI was en route from Guadalajara, Mexico, to Puerto Vallarta to follow up on a tip from an American couple.
The couple had been in contact with Luster while on vacation, according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Ralph Boelter, and identified him while sharing vacation pictures with a friend. The couple then contacted bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and later the FBI, Boelter said..
Chapman found Luster first and was arrested along with four others, including a television camera crew, who were traveling with him..

Thanks for the follow-up. I didn't doubt you had a basis for your comments. I just wondered if the article was accurate, or the result of a CYA press release.
Well, I tell you what, if you think Dog's crrent problems are earned and that he deserves to suffer, have fun while you can. The bottom line, however, will be that Dog is going to cash in on this BIG TIME. He may have some discomfort for a while, but he is not going to spend any meaningful time in a Mexican jail, and he won't be forced to pay more money than he can recover from the publicity.
Dog will be a huge winner when the smoke has cleared. He will make more money and have more fans. The American public doesn't care about Mexico's laws. They don't care about the whole "woulda, coulda, shoulda" nonsense from the feds in regards to capturing Luster. The feds can say "but we coulda got the guy" all they want, that doesn't change the fact that Dog DID capture the rapist punk.
If his show was listed on the stock market, it would have gone up 10 fold in the last two days.
I would like to congratulate Dog on his increasing fame. While he may not have planned it this way, I am sure he is well poised to ride the situation to new heights - like any good capitalist would! :)
