He’s the Dog, the big bad Dog….
And now’s he get’s to spend some time in a Mexican prison….
MSNBC has learned that U.S. officials have arrested TV reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman and two family members in Hawaii for extradition to Mexico.
Chapman’s wife told MSNBC’s Rita Cosby that heavily armed U.S. marshals arrived at the family’s house today and took away Chapman, his brother, Tim, and son, Leland.
…
In 2003, the Chapmans went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to retrieve Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges.
Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.
At that time, Mexican prosecutors maintained that Luster’s capture violated their sovereignty.
The Chapmans each could face up to 8 years in prison if they are returned to Mexico and convicted on kidnapping charges.
Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term, but at the time, the Chapmans were also jailed by Mexican authorities for a brief time three years ago.
The three returned to the United States after posting bail of their own.
Wow… a bail-jumping bounty hunter. The irony.
