Bounty Hunter Dog Impounded for Kidnapping
Duane "Dog" Chapman and two
Dog the Bounty Hunter costars, including his 29-year-old son Leland, were arrested on Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy, stemming from their June 2003 capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who had fled the U.S. for Mexico on three rape charges. Chapman's publicist says her client will be vindicated, telling the Associated Press, "He arrests the bad guys. He is definitely not one of them." Said Chapman himself in the courtroom following his arrest, "You see what the American government is doing to us? They throw us in jail. I'm so upset about this." Chapman et al are being held in Honolulu, where they will face an extradition-to-Mexico hearing.
