Bounty Hunters Arrested

And personally I think it is about time. I hold no sympathy for people who break the law but it seems to me that these so called bounty hunters have free reign and and dimwitted indiviuals make them folk heros.

Charges have been pending against the three since 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, Credic said.

HONOLULU — TV reality star Duane (Dog) Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in the bounty hunters' capture three years ago of a cosmetics company heir. Chapman, son Leland Chapman and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody and did not resist arrest, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii. "It went down without incident," Hanohano said. Mona Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular cable series Dog The Bounty Hunter, said Chapman will 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, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington. Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country while on trial on charges he raped three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on A&E.
