Dog The Bounty Hunter Arrested
Thursday September 14, 2006
Duane "Dog" Chapman, the star of A&E's hit reality show Dog The Bounty Hunter, was arrested on Thursday by Mexican authorities. Dog famously captured convicted rapist Andrew Luster three years ago in Mexico. The problem? Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. As a result, Dog is facing kidnapping charges. Dog's son Leland and his brother Timothy, who were also involved with the Luster capture, were also arrested. More about Dog's arrest here.
Comments
Dog - You are in good, stand-up company along with the Marines at Camp Pendleton who are being tried for “war crimes” during a time of war; along with Paul who was imprisoned and ministered to many.
You are an honorable man, Duane. God bless you during this time and He surely will. God has a greater plan here for you.
Our government is topsy-turvy - good will be evil and evil will be good. As a God loving man you will understand that message. Keep him close.
I pray He will keep, protect, and provide for your family during this time. He is able and never fails.
Duane,you all do a sevice to this country,and I believe others are jealous of the good job you all do.But why didn’t you appear in court?You track fugitives down for this,why why why Dog?I hope you are not jailed for the 4 years that they said you could get.We need you here in the United States.If you and Leland and Tim are not here,alot of fugitives will go free b/c when others are afraid you are not.I feel bad for Lelands son and Tims new baby,and your three youngest children.In their eyes they may think that daddy,brother Leland and Uncle Tim are bad guys.Beth take care of them and God Bless you all.
p.s. My 12 year old will be devasted b/c she thinks Dog and Leland are cute,especially Leland.
Duane,Leland,Tim, May God bless you all and be with you during this stupid, thing with the Mexican Government. I do not think that you should be extraditated back to Mexico. Just leave you and your family alone. I think that the Lord will see that all things turn out for the good. You and your team are the good guys. So just stay strong and never let your belief in the Lord falter. God bless you, Leland, and Tim. May he also be with Beth and your children during all of this. Your true friend in the Lord. God Bless
Duane “Dog” I have been watching your show since it started, I can never believe that God would want what is happening now to be going on. I guess Satan is having his way, this time. Please just keep your eyes, and heart on the Lord, and He will see You and your Team, through all this mess. My prayers are with You, Leland, and Tim. The lord will be with Beth during all this. God Bless and stay strong. We all Love you and Leland and Tim.
FREE DOG!!!!! (screw the government)

Duane - God will use you in a mighty way wherever you are. In jail…especially in jail. Never doubt that He has a plan for you right where you are.
What the government is doing to it’s men and women in service to their country is obscene but He will turn around every thing for His glory and your good. Stand on that promise.
God will provide for and protect you and your family.
Godspeed Chapman Family. Come on guys… Did you really not expect this from our f- up judicial system? keep your heads up becuz one day all the people behind this and other foolish acts similar will get there judgement day!
Dog we love you stay strong. we believe in you
FREE DOG! GOD BLESS AMERICA! WE KNOW WHO HAS WON.
I have been to MEXICO…Its a bad place to be in general but I can’t imagine their JAILS there or to even want to ask how you are being treated there.To me,it all seems to be more of a society where criminals can do JUST WHATEVER and who gets the slap in the face?People like Dog,Leland,and ALL of the other people who are taking matters into their own hands and TRYING to make a difference by getting these LOOSERS off the streets.My heart goes out to DOG especially since just last month July,8th or 11th (close to) of this year(2006) he lost his daughter to a automobile accident.He just got married for Heavens sake!I mean…. “H-E-L-L-O PEOPLE” all of this for taking a dopey dude rapist out of our society?Well?What are we all gonna continue to let our government/bordering Government(Mexico)over-throw those that try to get the BAD GUYS?I know what I have decided to do after learning of this incident.I am going to REFUSE-REFUSE-REFUSE to USE….MAX FACTOR PRODUCTS!!Just think if we did that,then maybe she wouldnt have as much money to spend on her family members (THE RAPEST) litigation.It will hurt her reputation more than her pocketbook if we all BOYCOTT her name&label “MAX FACTOR”!By all of us that love DOG&HIS CREW we are supporting him and just maybe she’ll become the “AX FACTOR” in other words outta-business.Please,please I am urging all of you,do it for all the right reasons!!!!Here in ALABAMA thats what we are all about,helping the good guys.Love ya’ll!Melissa Mays
What an absolute disgrace. Here is a man getting the bad guys. It seems to me that it is another rich guy getting away with his crimes. And what a crime..because I’m rich I can rape women and nothing will happen to me. Hiding behind his famous name….Dog didn’t care he knows right from wrong. God Bless Dog, Leland and Timothy - just showing up the US Government for what they are. Take care. Dawn Malta, Europe
You MUST be joking!
What a disgrace. Dog does a big service for our country and they repay him by signing a warrant for his arrest.
Dog, Leland & Timothy ~ I’m behind you!
The Dawg got exactly what he deserved after he skipped his appearance date in Mexico. Hope that arogant Dawg rots in a TJ prison.
This is to Greg the guy that commented on Sept 17 that you are glad Dog was arrested…you must be one of the low life freeks Dog caught in the past and you think this is justice. Be a decent up standing citizen, get a job and you won’t have to be scared of The Dog.
big dog finally got bit (ha ha)
i hope he spends time in jail, i saw his show once and he and his wife would never make it in northern idaho as bail inforcement (tv punks) get real
#15 You must have missed the point of life. Arrogant! The guy could not be more humble. He witnesses to the lost and brings them to the truth. He helps them to see the error in their ways and gives mercy and compassion when those who are down and out need it.
why does the mexican gov. act like that peice of s#*% rapist has rights in there country? hes not even a mexican citizen!!!getting him and bringing him back was the right thing to do. god bless you and you family for all the good you do daily. and lets all remember you in our prayers. i belive this is political and you are the scrape goat.the mexican goverment needs to get a clue!!!
Face it folks. If Dog didn’t have a hit show the Mexican government wouldn’t have persued this. It’s all about money. Sad but true.
I can’t believe this mess! We need more people like Dog, he should get a madel and be paid the bounty on luster. Maybe Mexican police and the F.B.I, are probably embaressed because they were out done by a man on a mission from god. Stay strong Dog and keep the faith.
Will all of the negitive people STOP with the bad comments…Dog,Beth,Leland and Tim are GREAT!!!!! Because of all of their work,we now have a safer place to live…What ia wrong with you people…downing good things!!!
GO DOG,BETH,LELAND AND TIM…I never miss an episode….YOU ALL ARE GREAT!!!Mexico…leave the Bounty Hunters alone!!!!!!!!
Charlotte
2,000,000 and more ILLEGALS Mexicans in America, running free, committing crimes and receiving all the “freebies” our guvmint can handout to them.
VS
3 American LAW ENFORCEMENT GUYS jailed and in shackles and facing more time in “Mehico” for taking the serial rapist and druggies off the streets because of one slip up.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
DOG IS A HERO.
HOW CAN THIS BULLS**T BE HAPPENING?
MEXICO? TRADE ILLEGALS FOR DOG.
WAKE UP AMERICA…..
WHO’S IN CONTROL HERE… WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD?
DOG IS TRYING TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR US ALL..
WHO’S GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
WHO?
THIS BREAKS MY HEART AND I FEAR OUR FUTURE WORLD.
Dog and his men are the biggest heros there are. My 2 sons 12 &13 are very upset that someone trying to keep people safe especially women would even be thought about being punished.
Let the heros go FREE to serve our county for what they have the courage to do!!
This sends a BIG message to our kids who have no more decent heros to look up to. Most of today’s sports guys are druggies, so their out.
Now here comes Dog and pals and the guvmint let’s them twist in the wind while pandering to ILLEGAL messicans who don’t contribute squat despite and take with both hands what you and I work hard for.
WE NEED A REVOLUTION! AMERICANS NEED TO GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND TAKE TO THE STREETS AND SAY “WERE MAD AS HELL AND WE AREN’T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!”
WHEW!!! Glad I got that out of my system!!!
This is total BS. Once again our federal government betrays someone who is doing what they are suppose to be doing, ENFORCING THE FREAKIN’ LAW. Who cares what Mexican law says, clearly its designed to protect the guilty from their just reward. I too am getting sick and tired of this do-nothing-justice system that comes down hard on normally law-abiding citizens who are trying to make the world better and then turn around and coddle criminals with all sorts of ridiculous legalisms.
Dog you are my hero in the way that you are a good family man and an awesome bounty hunter. I was shocked to hear this bad news and had to read it for myself. I think it a bunch of crap and I know you are going to get through this with good spirit and i wish you all the luck. stay strong and dont forget all that support you and your family, and I hope this wont discourage you from sharing more expirences you have through your show. You are still the man Dog. Thank you from one of your supporters Bob

My husband and I watch your show 2 times a week and we love it and your a great person and so aren’t the rest of you team.. Would love to meet the team sometime. My kids also like the show there 9 and 6 and don’t like to go to bed when your on….
Keep up the good work.You do a better job then the police do.Catch more of those guys..I watch your show faithfully. (canadian guy )
I think it is wrong what they are doing to the Chapman family.It is very typical of the justice system.It is awful to take a family like this and do what they are doing.
DOG YOUR GREAT,GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED,DONT EVER GIVE UP,YOU ARE EVERYBODYS FAVORITE DOG.
