I searched and couldn't find a thread for THE DOG.
On tonite's show the family is going to talk about their arrest.
America’s Favorite Bounty Hunter Jailed
On September 15, 2006, Duane (aka Dog) Chapman, his son Leland, and his brother Tim Chapman were all arrested in Honolulu, Hawaii on charges of illegal bounty hunting in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico of Max Factor Heir, Andrew Luster. Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country during his trial on charges he raped three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter and his family who are also bounty hunters, to fame and led to the highly rated reality series on cable’s A&E channel that airs on Tuesday nights. Luster is now serving a 124-year prison term.
Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico, and 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 for their court hearing in July 2003, officials said. On Thursday, September 15, 2006, the trio was arrested in Honolulu, Hawaii and on Friday, September 16, 2006, the trio were released with electronic monitoring devices and forbidden to carry firearms, and had to turn in their passports. They are not considered flight risks and they must return to trial for extradition hearings to Mexico.
