Dog, the Bounty Hunter arrested!

[Mary]

HONOLULU -- Federal marshals arrested bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and two relatives early Thursday morning at his home on Oahu.

The arrest involves Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster three years ago in Mexico. Luster was wanted in connection with a series of rapes.

Mexican authorities arrested Chapman, his son Leland and brother Timothy on kidnapping charges. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico.

The high-profile case launched Chapman into celebrity. Chapman now has his own reality TV series on the A&E cable channel.

Chapman's publicist, Mona Wood, released a statement to the media on Thursday morning.

"This is obviously a very upsetting time for the Chapman family. Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman is a true modern-day hero. He arrests the bad guys -- he is definitely not one of them. He shall be vindicated," Wood said in the statement.

Mexican immigration authorities issued an alert for Chapman and two relatives after they failed to show up in court. The judge released them on bail on the condition they show up every Monday to check in with the court, according to Mexican authorities shortly after Chapman left the country.

im so upset that this happened over the andrew luster case. i really respected him so much for catching that scum bag.

[Lisa]

I was really unhappy with this news. I think that they did a GREAT thing by going and getting that piece of shit and this is the thanks they get??? That is just fucked! That ASSHOLE got 129 years or something like that, for the crimes he did and if it wasn't for Dog and his boys, that shit bag would have gotten away with it!! I hope they get out and with BIG sorries and stuff to go with it!!!

Wow....he does a great job I think so this is disappointing!

Typical backward eff-upped law enforcement, GRRRR

[Chan]

Mexico's government sounds as f*cked up as this one (aka US government).

I can't believe they'd arrest someone who did a good thing. There are enough assholes out there to arrest. Why do they have to go after the good guys?

[Mary]

what i am thinking happened is that someone was paid off for this.

its very well known how corrupt the Mexican police are (i had a friend threatened with arrest unless he paid them $100 actually).

andrew luster is a rich bastard. i think there was some money moved somewhere to make this happen. i also heard on the news that his lawyers had been pushing for this really hard. i think they were paid off to do this

Tomorrow night (Tuesday 19th),on A&E, the whole family talks about all of this. It will be on twice (it always is) so check out your times and check out what they have to say!!
It is total and complete bullshit and I think that maybe the people of the US and Canada should really start boycotting Mexico and start going else where for vacation! I won't be going there anytime soon!!

I know the mexican gov is notorious for being paid to do things or too look the other way for that matter!!! This is just rediculous.
