'Dog' Arrested At Mexico's Request (MERGED X2)

[NoFilterPaul]

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.

"I was getting the children ready for school and the U.S. marshals burst in our door and they just came right in and took him," said Beth Chapman on MSNBC.

"He was in shock. He was, he was shocked. He was shocked and he was amazed that the marshal's service that came to get him didn't even treat him as kind as he treats his own prisoners."

A representative from the Marshal's office had a different version of what happened in Hawaii.

"There were 7 deputy marshals who went to Chapman's home," said Jay Beber, from the U.S. marshal's office in Hawaii.

"We knocked on the door to announce that we were U.S. marshals. … Mr. Chapman was compliant and very respectful."

The Chapmans were in custody and expected to remain in custody for three days until a bond hearing is held.

Cosby said she was told that Mexican government officials wanted the three men sent back there in relation to a three-year-old case.

In 2003, the Chapmans went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to retrieve Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on **** 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.

I could give a fuck personally about him, but why are we letting Mexico have him because he caught some rich shit head. Mexico must have someone we really want sent up here down there and we must be trading Dog for whoever it is.

Mexican prison... :shudders:

[Sam_Adams]

That's exactly what Mexico needs to do. They need to dig up a three-year-old case where Americans went to retrieve an AMERICAN fugitive. I could understand their displeasure if they went down there to grab a Mexican citizen who was wanted in the U.S. but that isn't the case.

The Mexicans are inept and they need to worry about fighting the drug cartels who have taken over cities along the border like Nuevo Laredo where they have to have Mexican military go around with machine guns to act like they are trying to do something with the drug trade.

Fuck the Mexican'ts.

You can bet the Bush administration is bending over backwards to help the Mexican government in this. Could we please get a fucking conservative in the White House?

You never know when you're going to need a good bail bondsman. Or when a good bail bondsman is going to need a good lawyer.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's Duane "Dog" Chapman, who parlayed his career hunting down criminals who've violated the terms of their bail into reality TV stardom on A&E, was arrested Thursday in Honolulu, Jay Bieber, Deputy U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii, told E! Online. An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday.

Chapman, 53, son Leland Chapman, 29, and colleague Timothy Chapman (no relation), 41, were picked up by federal marshals at 6:30 a.m. on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy related to the capture in 2003 of Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir who was convicted in absentia of ****** three women in California and then fled to Mexico.

After Luster flew the coop, Chapman and his posse (pre-TV show, yet accompanied by a camera crew) tracked their quarry down to Puerto Vallarta. The bounty hunters took him into their own brand of custody June 18, 2003, and returned him to the U.S., where he was jailed the next day.

Which the Mexican authorities frowned upon. Soon after the Chapmans refused to turn Luster over to the local police in Mexico, they were arrested for "deprivation of liberty." They were scheduled to appear at a court hearing on July 15, 2003, but never showed up.

The Mexican government is looking to extradite the trio, currently in custody in Honolulu, back to Mexico. They are expected to make their initial appearance before a judge Thursday afternoon, where the terms of their arrest warrant will be unsealed and a date will be set for future proceedings.

"This is obviously a very upsetting time for the Chapman family," Chapman's rep, Mona K. Wood, said in a statement. "Duane 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Chapman is a true modern-day hero. He arrests the bad guys--he is definitely not one of them. He shall be vindicated."

Meanwhile, the network that brought Chapman's exploits as family man and head of Da Kine Bail Bonds into the public eye is standing by its star.

"A&E supports Dog and his family during this difficult time and is proud of his role in helping to bring a convicted serial rapist to justice," the network said in a statement. Luster is currently serving a 124-year prison term.

Chapman is said to have gotten the better of 6,000 bail jumpers and criminals during his 25 years in the business and Da Kine Bail Bonds has locations on Oahu, Maui and the island of Hawaii.

His memoir, You Can Run but You Can't Hide: The Life and Times of Dog the Bounty Hunter, is due out in February 2007.

GOOD! I know I'm going to be in the minority here but I'm so glad to see one of these overly macho, paranoid, anti-government, white trash tools get thrown in jail. This idiot says the government is "jealous" of his ability to capture criminals, and "You see what the American government is doing to us? They throw us in jail".

Imagine the fun this guy will have in jail, enjoy it buddy, you deserve it.

[MrBogey]

He got thrown in jail for dragging a rapist to justice. Not cool.

[Mother Shucker]

I don't know if he "deserves it" dude. He may be a tool, but he has turned his life around and the show is kind of entertaining.

[Southtown]

Fucking Mexico. I am so sick of these assholes. They seem to have more stroke in this country then actually American citizens.
By watching the show I never saw him as paranoid or "anti-government", but I will admit Dog wasnt very smart saying the country is jealous of his capturing skills, but I can understand him being upset. This is just a bunch of bullshit.

Spankz- Could you explain to me why a guy who turned his life around and brings drug addicts,murderers, and rapists to justice deserves to go to jail? Is it just because you think hes white trash and overly macho,or is there something else we dont know about him that you do.

it's just this whole bounty hounter idea. If you want to be a cop, be a cop. The tv shows is a "nice", sanitized version of how bounty hunters opperate. many don't take the time and care that these on the show do.

Do you know what it takes to become a bounty hounter? You take some weekend classes, or if you're too busy you can now do it online in some states. It's vigilantism, there have been cases where bounty hunters have captured the wrong person or even killed the wrong person. In most states they can legally enter a home without probably cause and can violently arrest, detain, or transport across state lines people with impunity. Cops can't, and what if you're not the guilty person they are after?

I'm a supporter of the cops, they have laws they have to opperate under. I'm a law abiding citizen so I have nothing to fear. Except from this group of vigilanties who can enter my home without cause, capture or kill me, my girl, my family etc. and all because they didn't have the right training to be a real cop.

[Hudson]

Psst! Do a search for Dog The Bounty Hunter.......

[DonTheTrucker]

Bounty hunting is out of date, but this guy doesn't derserve to be dragged to Mexico for bringing a scumbag rapist to justice.

Ever think that the Mexican authorities have been paid off to do this for revenge?

[batgoat]

yo no legusta el..........aw fuck it, I HATE DOG

Oww! Fuck him and fuck Mexico, they both suck. I can't believe that fat piece of shit has his own show. I've hated that fat fucker and his fat wife since day one, this makes me very happy

[Mommadeez4u]

so do you think he knew the laws in mexico about bounty hunting before he went there and broke those laws? answer: YES He got what he deserved, fucking tool.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

LE doesn't have the resources to pick up bail skips.

If you're the bonding company, you're on the hook to ensure that the person you bonded out makes it to all court appearances or else you loses the money for the bond. It's a private contract between two partys, with the person who is bonded out, signing over their rights to the bond holder.

It's just business. I've watched his show once or twice and his cunt really annoys the shit out of me. Dog should also get a updated hair style, as the skullet went out about twenty years ago.

[batgoat]

Yes! He got what he deserved! Spankz is right, that 'bounty hunters' have NO fuckin training, and they do an injustice to real law enforcement by wearing badges. It should have been HIS 18 year old son instead of Anna nicole Smith's..... FUCK BAIL AGENTS or whatever the fuck they call themselves

[Three Hole Puncher]

I'd agree that, for the most part, bounty hunters are a necessary evil, but I also think they should be regulated(licensed, trained, monitored, etc...) much more than they currently are.

Having said that... I also think they should definitely know their place, and stick to their territory. They should think twice before they cross state lines... crossing international borders? That's just retarded. Who the fuck does this guy think he is, an international man of mystery, or somesuch Hollywood bullshit? So he apprehended a scumbag rapist... wonderful. Now the fuck will probably get off based on his illegal seizure.

You want to impress me, Dog? Take a break from your death defying feats of ambushing deadbeat dads and serial traffic ticket nonpayers as they sleep in their beds, go over to Iraq, put a kevlar helmet over your lustrous locks, and work as a civilian security agent. Then I might take you seriously.

Those civilian security guys in Iraq are some for real ass negros. Real life mercenaries.

[batgoat]

Well said, as an OIF vet, and still serving reservist I think blah blah blah... Got no point but agree

If you break the law, to enforce the law, then you're a law breaker too. The best part is Dog never had the papers to collect this scumbag, thus then, he didn't get a fucking dime of bounty (besides all the free PR/TV show.)

No paper, no money.

Dog's problem, as I see it, is he was too into interjecting additional drama to sell the show. Excessive ego is always self-destructive.

[Legend of Snuka]

Dog has the "I used to wrestle in the NWA in 1985" hairstyle....I swear that guy was a former US Champion...

[wes mantooth]

His entire family's Road Warrior image sucks balls. I'm glad he's an accomplished bounty hunter and all but why the need for the ridiculous get-up?

Still, I don't think Mexico should be allowed to have them though. So he broke a Mexican law, big fucking deal. They had him. They let him go free for a few years and now they come after him again? Fuck that. I'm sure the Bush administration is allowing this to prove that we as Americans need to respect the sanctity of the Mexican legal system. Too bad half of Mexico is living here illegally and making a mockery of our laws every goddamn day. With Bush's blessing of course.

[Joey Bond]

it's just this whole bounty hounter idea. If you want to be a cop, be a cop. The tv shows is a "nice", sanitized version of how bounty hunters opperate. many don't take the time and care that these on the show do.

It's not about wanting to be a cop or not they are hired by bail bondsmens to protect our interest (the money) because certain scumbags arent man enough to go to jail if convicted,and the police departments are too busy to be concerned about specifically looking for 1 person because they failed to appear in court

Do you know what it takes to become a bounty hounter? You take some weekend classes, or if you're too busy you can now do it online in some states. It's vigilantism, there have been cases where bounty hunters have captured the wrong person or even killed the wrong person.

Cops can't, and what if you're not the guilty person they are after?

Ok first of all your full of shit it's not like that everywhere I am a Bail Bondsmen in Connecticut and we dont have "Bounty Hunters" we have bail enforcement agents the difference is bea agents are required to be licensed by the state and have very strict laws that they must follow and believe it or not alot of cops enlist the help of certain bondsmen and bea agents simply because of the rights that we have

I'm a supporter of the cops, they have laws they have to opperate under. I'm a law abiding citizen so I have nothing to fear. Except from this group of vigilanties who can enter my home without cause, capture or kill me, my girl, my family etc. and all because they didn't have the right training to be a real cop.

If your a supporter of the cops and a law abiding citizen and all that then like you said you have nothing to fear from anyone not even these "vigilantes" because you would never be on their radar

[Joey Bond]

so do you think he knew the laws in mexico about bounty hunting before he went there and broke those laws? answer: YES He got what he deserved, fucking tool.


Im sure he knew as we all know that you cant go into mexico to get anyone ya know unless ya pay the right people off border patrol mexican cops etcc.... so heres my question to you all the guy Andrew Luster that he illegally arrested in mexico why is he in jail to this day he should be released because he was illegally arrested right or wrong

[Three Hole Puncher]

Because, technically speaking, he was never arrested by Goldilocks. A bounty hunter doesn't have the legal authority to put anyone under "arrest". It's more like a citizens arrest... they don't have to read them their rights or anything. They merely "transport" the person to the proper authorities where they are then placed under arrest.

It still might complicate Luster's prosecution, but it won't buy him a walk.

[Joey Bond]

wrong bro

[Three Hole Puncher]

wrong bro

Riddle me this...

If a bounty hunter comes to "arrest" me, and I take off running down the street, will the cops then charge me with resisting arrest?

If the bounty hunter caught me, and then hauled me down to the police station, would the police have to read me my miranda rights? I'm already under "arrest", right? They shouldn't have to, right?

[Joey Bond]

When you are released on Bond all it is just a continuation of your original arrest.The bail bondsmen basically owns your ass,therefore if your bail is revoked you are put back in jail on your original charges.If you fail to appear in court the judge will order a warrant for your arrest and also a notice to the bondsmen that you failed to appear and that we need to either produce the defendant or pay the bond off,this is when we either look for you ourself or hire a "bounty hunter" when you are caught you will not only will you have to face the original charges you were arrested for but you will have the new charge of Failure to Appear.You should read up on a US Supreme Court case Taylor vs.Taintor and numerous other cases to learn more about the rights of Bail Bondsmen and the use of "bounty hunters".

[CM Mark]

Here's the only Bounty Hunters I give a fuck about

http://blog.tp.org/kimi/archives/bebopeverybody.jpg

[d0uche_n0zzle]

"When bail is given, the principal is regarded as delivered to the custody of his sureties. Their dominion is a continuance of the original imprisonment. Whenever they choose to do so, they may seize him and deliver him up in their discharge, and if that cannot be done at once, they may imprison him until it can be done. They may exercise their rights in person or by agent. They may pursue him into another state; may arrest him on the Sabbath; and if necessary, may break and enter his house for that purpose. The seizure is not made by virtue of new process. None is needed. It is likened to the rearrest, by the sheriff, of an escaping prisoner."


The bold part is what screws up peoples perception on BEA's.

[Bill]

so heres my question to you all the guy Andrew Luster that he illegally arrested in mexico why is he in jail to this day he should be released because he was illegally arrested right or wrong


When you are released on Bond all it is just a continuation of your original arrest....when you are caught you will not only will you have to face the original charges you were arrested for but you will have the new charge of Failure to Appear.

Didn't you really ansewer your first question with this followup post. Since being released on bond was really just a continuaton of his original arrest, as long as the original arrest was legal, then the legality of how he got caught by the bounty hunter shouldn't matter. The bounty hunter just caught him. He was already legally arrested.

[Joey Bond]

Right and he was caught in another country that has no EXTRADITION so the Mexican authoritys should never of held Andrew Luster for the Americans and who knows if he would of ever been caught.

The fact remains this ....

Did he break the law by going into a country that your not allowed to go into to get people? yes

Do the Mexicans accept bribes to allow people to be taken back across the border all the time? absolutely

[ChrisH]

Well, it turns out that Mexico is giving us a major drug Kingpin, so I guess they probably asked for something in return (and the fact that a fugitive they want has a freakin' TV show here probably embarrassed and angered them). As far as I am concerned, the trade is worth it.

Bounty hunters are scum. The guy he caught was scum but now he has to pay the price.

If he's so into God, he'll accept his fucking punishment like a man. He'll do 6 months in a Mexican prison to pay the cost of bringing a rapist-murderer to justice.

Did he really think he could skip bail like the people he brings in every week?
