Bounty hunter Duane ?Dog? Chapman arrested
Charges involve an alleged kidnapping three years ago

HONOLULU - TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested early Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping three years ago in Mexico, U.S. Marshals said.

Chapman, 53, his son Leland Chapman, and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody in an operation involving 15 officers, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii. They did not resist arrest, he said.

"All three were very compliant," Hanohano said. "It went down without incident."

Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular A&E series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," said Chapman would be "vindicated."

"He arrests the bad guys ? and he is definitely not one of them," she said.

The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Chapman's capture of Luster, a serial rapist, catapulted the bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on the A&E channel.

The three are being held in custody in Honolulu, and bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said.

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 Vallarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003.

A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Sept. 13, 2006.

The three were to face a hearing later Thursday in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren, Hanohano said. They were to be transported to a federal detention center at the Honolulu airport pending extradition.

"Dog the Bounty Hunter" is A&E's top-rated show.

I would imagine he is isolated in the local jail, and I doubt many of the mexicans in prison are checking out A&E...

Apparently, when he was took on the arrest warrent by the feds, him, his son and "brother" Tim were put in a federal prision in Hawaii. In the "hole", 23 hour lockdown. He said he was treated just like a murderer in the total isolation part of the prision.

I sort of feel bad for laughing at this. My warped side couldn't resist. :tongue2: I'm sure this guy gets sued or at least threatened to be sued on a rather regular basis. Rough line of work.

More ironic than comical, but I get your point.

along the same line of thinking... who ever thought they would hear ANYONE being charged with this in mexico:

has been charged under Mexican law with "deprivation of liberty"

the same country in which you have to bribe cops to keep from dissapearing is charging people with deprivation of liberty? did he forget to bribe the correct gov official or something? this seems like it would be a misdemeanor at best in mexico. maybe like a fix-it ticket or something?
