What I'd like to know is how is a warrant from Mexico honored since they obviously don't honor ours?

Duane 'The Dog' Chapman arrested by feds

HONOLULU - 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.

Chapman, son Leland Chapman and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody and did not resist arrest, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii. "It went down without incident," Hanohano said.

Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular cable series "Dog The Bounty Hunter," said Chapman would be vindicated. "He arrests the bad guys — and he is definitely not one of them," she said.

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.

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.

Chapman's son Leland, 29, and Timothy Chapman, 41, no relation, assist Chapman in exploits chronicled for the TV show around the Hawaiian Islands. The show focuses on Chapman's family as much as the bounty hunting, which generally involves tracking down bail jumpers, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives.

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.

Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police. Their refusal to do so led to their initial arrest.

A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday.

Interesting. This alleged "illegal detention" actually LED to the series creation.

We wont get rid of the illegals, but we will send our Americans who take scum off the streets to a Mexico jail. Man this pisses me off.

Mexico only fights extradition warrants to the U.S. if the case involves the death penalty.

They recently brought a cop killer back here to Denver but only when the sentence was declared as life not seeking the death penalty. The police officer's wife decided some retribution was worth more than none.

We are still waiting for armando garcia (illegal alien) who killed a cop. Mexico wants a rapist running around mexico? Seems we were doing them a favor. They dont give us our felons and such but they wanty to arrest Dog? What has Mexico done for us in getting criminals back to the States. Their Superior Court just got pressure earlier this year to get them back here but we are still waiting. Good point broncolife!
