Dog the Bounty Hunter Arrested in Hawaii The details are sketchy, but the Associated Press is reporting that Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman was arrested early this morning in Hawaii. Though his publicist has confirmed this had indeed happened, she provided no further details. MSNBC, on the other hand, is reporting that Chapman, his brother Tim, and son Leland were arrested by US Marshalls on kidnapping charges, and face extradition to Mexico. This is allegedly in relation to the Andrew Luster case, in which Chapman and his posse took Luster into custody in Mexico where he fled to after being charged with rape. In Mexico bounty hunting is against the law. Blogger News Network is advertiser-supported, and your visits to our advertisers help BNN to meet its expenses.

The US Government messed up big time over this. This should of been taken care of years ago. Beth, Dog, Tim, Lelan, and family, you are in my prayers. Keep up the good work. Watch the show all the time. Love you guys.
Your number one fan,
Justin
What a load of crap!!! Dog & the gang RULE!
I wonder who the Chapman family has angered, who was benefitting from the sale of ice in Hawaii and wants Dog and his crew out of the way. It seems everyone he arrests is affected by ice, using or selling and he has the same message for each of them. STOP. So, so whose pocketbook is shrinking from this?
With all the criminals fleeing from Southern California to the border in Mexico so they can't be extradited - our Government chooses to go after someone who actually made a difference on behalf of Luster's victims? I am embarassed that the Federal Government behaved so outrageously and caved in to ANY pressure from Mexico - a corupt and abusive country. This is wrong! Free Dog!Free Leland! Free Tim ! We are praying for you all - Beth be strong, hug those babies - this will be over soon! Love you all! Debbie and Family
The U.S Marshalls didn't have the brains to catch the rapist so the Dog sniffed him out. Now he has marshalled himself some jealous enemies. How many Marshalls did it take? I wonder how many Marshalls it takes to screw in a light bulb. Jeez no wonder we have so much crime in this country.
Interesting that there are millions of illigal alien mexicans here in the US being basically protected by the US gov. Meanwhile the US marshalls arrest an AMERICAN HERO ON BEHALF OF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY!
How ridiculous is this??? Mexico wouldn’t extradite Andrew Luster, but we will extradite people (DOG and the pound) to a country where you are treated like shit and abused because we want to uphold the terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico. Why when Mexico wouldn’t with Mr. Luster? Could money have something to do with it?? I’m sure Andrew Luster was spending quite a bit of money in Mexico. Or could it be all the hatred people have developed towards illegal immigrants?? Either way it is a grave injustice. I do have one question though,,,,, Why didn’t Dog appear for his court date???? He should have known what could have happened if he didn’t appear…. Makes you wonder….. I love Dog and the Pound....
OMGoodness, what next, will Dog and associates get charged with stopping the "ice" in paradise. This Meth use is destroying people and families more than any other known drug.
Here he is risking his life to bring a rapist to justice, what a crock !!!
You are all obviously ignorant of the case law on this. It was made quite clear by the Kear/Jaffe case that the authority of American bounty hunters to apprehend fugitives does not extend beyond US borders. In fact, by carrying out bounty hunting activities in a foreign country, Dog was violating US law in addition to Mexican law.
Break the law, go to jail. Well, nobody ever said he was the smartest man around...
Here is what I can not under stand is that we (the USA) would agree to extradition to Mexico when we (the USA, again) demanded that Gary McKinnon be extradited from England.
Lets count, we stand up to a stronger country (England) yet back down from a weaker country (Mexico). WOW!!! That blows my mind.
Mexico is nothing but a bunch of thieves and rapist anyway, and they wonder why we are building a fence on the border.
What many seem to be missing is that Dog and company broke the law in Mexico. Not only did they break the law, but they jumped bail and became fugitives from justice. Is what is good for the goose not good for the gander? Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. Why is it ok for Dog to be above the law, but none of the other fugitives are allowed the same consideration? Dog obviously cared more about fame than the law.
By the way, most bounty hunters feel Dog gives a bad name to the profession and would never conduct themselves in such a manner.
Because they are fugitives you goofball. They don't deserve shit. Especially that guy who drugged and raped three women. And don't talk about Mexico having any sort of legal system that anyone should take seriously. Everything over there is a complete joke. Everyone knows that.
"Dog eat dog, dog eat dog", AC/DC Let there be rock
The arrest of Dog is exemplery of the continuous mistakes that inept government employees are continuously making. This should never have been allowed to happen. I believe we should identify the person responsible for this mistake and make that individual accountable. This is inconceivable that an American should be arrested for a misdemeanor and be extradicted to Mexico. Often, serious crimminals are not extradicted due to expense and lack of interest. How can this be allowed to happen. Where is the media coverage? Justice must prevail! FREE DOG AND FAMILY
Prayers, Annousha
I am shocked over what happened to Dog and his family.The man has done good in so many ways.I really hope all goes well for him and things turn out for the better. He has came along way in life and has learned from his mistakes.He tries to help others .It takes a bigger man to try to see the good in a person regardless of what they have done,then treat them like a peice of garbage.I pray for him and his family.
Dog is the good guy! He gets the bad guy's! Simple. All you prima donna legal eagles are myopic and cold hearted. If that were your girl that got drugged and raped by the Max factor man, you would be singing a different tune. The only tyranny going on here is that our government should be protecting Dog, not sending him and his family to do time in Mexico. Dog Rules!
To begin with I would like to know how a convicted felon can become a bounty hunter. I feel that bounty hunters should be outlawed. That entire crew is a disgrace to this country.
people can change. so what if he went to jail a long time ago. it goes to show no matter what mistakes you make in your life you can change if you really want to. and what is wrong with bounty hunting. they are just getting the scum bags off the streets and in jail where they belong. so we can walk down the street without being scared. thank you dog and the gang i think you are all awesome. love you mandy
Beth please keep a eye on your guys! Mexican prisons that is soo scary! I would think that the feds would have more to do then capture the people that are trying to keep the USA safe!~ I think that somebody is getting bored and lets pick on the little guys! My preyers are with you!

I’m glad he got called out on his hypercritical actions of skipping Bail. Who is he to have a show acting as a good guy arresting criminals when he is doing the same thing? Yes Dog was a convicted felon before and apparently he hasn’t changed. For this his show needs to be cancelled for embarrassment. How dare them people go around acting like bad asses making America look bad. He is sending out the signal to everyone one that our police force is worthless. What ever happened to professional behavior? If he wanted a career like this why couldn’t they do what most people do in America, go to school and learn it, not but a video camera and a bottle of mase? I want to see the footage, I would love to see him and his false-morale family gets arrested. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad someone is trying to save the world, but why did it have to be a family found in the far end of a trailer park?
Good thing we've never made a mistake.
OK..I'll put in my Nickels worth.
Seems some on here forget the fellow dog got was wanted in the U.S. for rape.
Matt say's "No one said he was smart" Gosh Matt, what do U know of anything except what comes out of your TV?"
Muzz... Oil was discovered under Mexico so I guess we have to kiss their U know what.
Deborah Ng ... Name the Bounty Hunters that say Dog gives Bounty Hunting a bad name or are U just like the rest of the fool's that are trying to jump on the Dog so they can look bigger? Shame on U for telling stories.
Satch...Why is Dog a disgrace to this country?George Bush is the disgrace to this country.Why not just say " DOd is a dirty Dog" instaead of all this disgrace stuff? lol U be funny guy
Shavon.. Why should Dogs show be cancelled? So what if he is a convicted felon? He did his TIME. Grow up......Pompous people like U that can hide behind the net are enough to puke a dog off a gut wagon. Back at ya lol
Ole Matt the Lawyer. Ok Matt the Lawyer how come we can go to other
countries & kidnap their President? Isn't that against the law? Who should we have deported for that one? WHen we kidnapped Noriaga, Einstein
gdsnide, we did not kidnap Einstein. He came to the United States as a refugee fleeing the Nazis.
Robert, I believe he was being sarcastic and calling Matt the Lawer Einstein.
I want to know why it isn't ok for Dog to go get a rapist and bring him to justice, but it is ok for the US to go take over a country because we've decided we're helping people.
DOG AND HIS FAMILY ARE HEROES.
THEY DID WHAT THE U.S. GOV'T
DID'NT HAVE THE BRAINS OR GUT TO DO!
If you could read the whole blog, and understand the whole concept of EMBARRASMENT TO THE U.S you would then understand why his show needs to be cancelled, and to make a comment as pompous toward me, what information did I give you about me to make that judgment call. That’s personal and you don’t know anything about me, so it shows you’re as ignorant as the dog!! You must be the kind of person who hopes to meet someone in life to make a career instead of working for one (like Dwayne – and if you don’t know who Dwayne is… look it up) Bow-wow go sniff up someone else’s ass!!! I’m not to pompous; just to smart for u. and you can call me Dr. Moffat like the rest of the world, you lost your privileges!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO ! MY SON WAS GOING DOWN THE WRONG PATH AFTER WATCHING YOUR FIRST SEASON HE DECIDED TO BECOME A POLICE OFFICER AND IS NOW SERVING ON THE FORCE THANKS TO YOU!IF WE FIND OUT ABOUT A PROTEST WE WILL FLY THERE AND JOIN TO KEEP YOU FREE. WE LO9VE THE DOG & HIS FAMILY
I agree that if charges were going to be brought against them it should have been done 3 years ago when this happened not now after it has been so long, funny how it happened after he got his show, i support everything "DOG" tim, leland, duane lee, and beth do...my brother was getting into drugs i thank God every day that he turned around and thank the people that helped him, so thank you for doing what you have done for people to help change theirs and their family's lives

I beleive this is all the fault of the useless U.S goverment and the useless police services that cannot take 2 min from eating there donuts and do there job then dog and posse would not be in this predictemant.my prayers are with you dog and posse.
Dog... you and yours are a Godsend
the American people love you and what you stand for. I am a hard core Republican and I so hope that the U.S. grows some balls that are actually permantely attached. I am sick of the once that detach when needed. We are the most powerful nation in the world... Time to start taking care of the ones who take care of us... Judy M.V. Ca.
Would Mexico be mad if Dog brought home one of their rapists from another country illegally? I put money on no.
If Dog goes to Mexico and I rescue him can I get a TV show outta the deal? I know it's illegal but it worked for him.
I can't believe my family's hard-earned tax dollars are being wasted to hassle Dog and his posse. Is this how we treat someone who brought a serial sexual predator & pervert to justice?? I'm ashamed and outraged!!
I am so upset at this whole ordeal. Why did the government have to wait a whole 3 years. Tomorrow, when I go back to school, I'm going to start my own pettition to free Dog and his son and brother. I'll find some way to mail it to them and help them fight the government no matter what it takes. -Chelsea M. Lake Worth, Fl.
The US has extradition treaties in place with Mexico. Dog knew this. He also knew it was illegal to go bounty hunting in Mexico, yet he did so anyway. Dog knowingly went into another country and broke the law. The US would have dealt with Mexico and gotten Luster, Dog knew this, he's just an attention whore.
And then what does he do? He jumps bail. How is that ok? If he's such a hero, such a role model, such a fine example of a human being, why does he jump bail. Why not go back and face the music?
The other poster was right. I saw that documentary too where the other bounty hunters say Dog gives them a bad name. They also said he gives away all their secrets and is more interersted in fame than doing the job right.
Here's some links, but it was all on tv in a documentary about bounty hunters:

The judged that signed that warrant should be thrown off of the bench. This just points out the major flaws in our system.
I think that what Dog and is family do is wonderful. If it wasn't for them criminals would run the streets and hurt innoccent people. I think that the government needs to take a step back and look at all the things that the Chapmans have done. They have changeds people, turned them in the right direction in life. How do the govenment so them thanks..... By locking them up for doing there job. I will be behide the Chapmans 200% and I hope all the fans are too. May God bless the Chapman family.
