MSNBC's Rita Cosby is reporting that Duane Dog Chapman, star of the A&E reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," and two members of his bounty hunting team (including his son) were arrested by U.S. officials today for extradition to Mexico. Cosby is reporting that Mexican government officials wanted the three men sent back there in relation to a three-year-old case.

In 2003, Chapman traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to retrieve Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges. Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term. The Chapmans were jailed in Mexico for a brief time for the incident three years ago. Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.

Dog's wife, Beth Chapman, said 12 armed marshals "came through the door" at 6:00AM this morning. She said they took their daughter's boyfriend down at gunpoint. Dog was sleeping at the time.

TMZ spoke with Nicky Credic from the U.S. Marshals Office. She said, "The arrest warrant was signed by a U.S. magistrate in Hawaii on September 13. The warrant was based on a formal request based on a diplomatic note from the government of Mexico."

I saw this.

Irony is a BITCH!!!

Sucks for sure. I hope someone in the government or some watchdog group, no pun intended, is watching out for him.

Mexican prisons are notorious for their evil doings.

 

[Greg]

Bounty Hunting is illegal in Mexico.......though maybe a nice little bribe can get him off.

 

[Wasch_24]

Yes, I know...it mentions that in the article.

I have a feeling something will be worked out.

I am glad that Mexico is finally cleaning up the country. Now with that dangerous criminal "DOG" soon to be in custody the 11 million ilegals that are over here will feel safe enough to go back home.

I think the Dog and his crew are a bunch of WWE rejects but I think this is a load of crap.

That sucks! I think what he does is a very good thing. I'm wondering if he knew it was illegal there?

Maybe a prisoner exchange will work here :smokingme

I don't like it but ignorance of the law is no excuse. Do your research before you jump borders and snatch people up. :roundtheh

 

[Greg]

Nice use of smilies Doc!! :rofl:

 

[Black Dog]

That's the first logical use of that "chicken in the net" emoticon that I've ever seen.

 

[DocLogic77]

I do try to amuse when I can. :smokingme

 

[tripp]

Fuck them and feed them fish heads............

Diplomatic note my nutsack. How helpful in finding and catching Andy Luster was the Mexican government???
Dog is a jackass but Luster is a rapist that fled the country to avoid punishment.

 

[tobby4]

That is funny...

 

[caudio51]

He's a jackass that helps catch criminals

 

[DocLogic77]

He broke the law and should be punished.

 

[caudio51]

He broke the law and should be punished.

As much as I normally agree, I have to disagree

 

[Greg]

As much as I normally disagree, I have to disagree

I have to disagree also. He's a total jackass, but he harnassed a rapist.

I go with morality here.

 

[caudio51]

Morals over legality.

Hole other discussion but....then again, the legal system is not much in mexico anyway....

 

[DocLogic77]

Its great that he got the rapist it truely is...but two wrongs don't make a right. So to recify the situation he needs to spend time in a mexican jail for breaking mexican laws.
