Duane 'Dog' Chapman Arrested by FedsThursday, September 14, 2006 By MARK NIESSE
HONOLULU (AP) — 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 an alleged kidnapping three years ago.
The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Villarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington.Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said.
Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country after being convicted of raping three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on A&E. The three are being held in Honolulu. Bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said.
Wonderful. Murderers, rapists and thieves hightail it across the border from the US all the time and the Mexican'ts won't ship them back to us, but we just roll over with a whimper and no protest whatsoever. As stated at Court TV's Website 3 years ago:
Law enforcement officials bristled at the mention of Chapman in a press conference late Wednesday, chastising him for going too far, and signaling that they would not help the bounty hunter dodge potential kidnapping charges.
"I think his actions are just beyond the bounds that I can condone," said Ralph Boelter,the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Ventura office. "He's out there acting on his own ... Certainly it is not something the FBI would condone. We will not be acting on his behalf."

In the end, Dog did get there first and make the FBI look stupid, (not that it's difficult) but when you piss them off, they do get even. Always remember that.
