'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Arrested for Bail Jumping
U.S. Marshals arrested Duane 'Dog' Chapman, the 53 year-old star of the A&E TV reality show Dog the Bounty Hunter, on Thursday, September 14, 2006 at the request of the Mexican Government. He was taken into custody at his Honolulu, Hawaii home just after 6 a.m., along with his son, Leland, and associate Timothy Chapman (no relation), after a federal judge issued a warrant for his arrest on Wednesday.
The men were wanted in connection with their highly publicized 2003 capture of Andrew Luster, Max Factor cosmetics heir, in Mexico when he fled there after skipping out on a $1 million bail. At the time, they were arrested by Mexican authorities and charged with unlawful detention and deprivation of freedom. Each were released on $1500 bail pending a hearing in a Mexican court on July 15, 2003, for which they failed to appear.
Mexico is seeking extradition and the three are scheduled to appear before a U.S. magistrate on Friday, September 15, 2006 for a determination.
