Dog The Bounty Hunter Arrested

Dog, Leland and Tim Chapman were taken into custody by U.S. Marshals early Thursday morning in connection with charges stemming from their 2003 arrest of convicted serial rapist, Andrew Luster.  Andrew Luster, the famed heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, was convicted of drugging and raping three women over a four year span.  During his trial in 2003, Luster fled the country to Mexico.

In June 2003, Dog and his team tracked the fugitive Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was living under an alias, and arrested him.  As bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities and Luster was handed over to the United States government by the Mexicans.  He was subsequently found guilty and is currently serving a 124 year prison sentence.

Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, and Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities.  After being released on bail, Dog, his family and team, returned to Hawaii and to their lives as bounty hunters. 

Yesterday at 6:00am, U.S. Marshals stormed Dog’s home and took him into custody.  They then did the same to Leland and Tim.  The three are being held in Honolulu where they will face an extradition hearing to Mexico.  There will be a hearing in Hawaii today at 3:00pm local time.  At that point we will have more details to share with you. A&E will be supplying us with up to date video updates as well as news updates on Dog. I gotta ask myself, when a guy goes and hunts down a criminal who is on the run, and doesnt HURT that criminal why is he being jailed or turned over to a foreign government. The plan is that next Tuesday A&E will air a special on TV at 9pm that will reveal the details of this case and will feature interviews with Beth and The Dog (hopefully). Just to stir the pot how is it America cant seem to send Mexican illegals back but they can find time to send the Dog back? Please take the time to Sound Off on this issue: Right Here
