Special
Episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter to Air Tuesday, September 19th
9/16/06
Dog, Leland and Tim Chapman were taken into custody by U.S. Marshals
early Thursday morning in connection with charges stemming from their 2003
arrest of convicted serial rapist, Andrew Luster.
Andrew Luster, the famed heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, was
convicted of drugging and raping three women over a four year span. During
his trial in 2003, Luster fled the country to Mexico.
In June 2003, Dog and his team tracked the fugitive Luster in Puerto
Vallarta, Mexico, where he was living under an alias, and arrested him. As
bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by
the Mexican authorities and Luster was handed over to the United States
government by the Mexicans. He was subsequently found guilty and is
currently serving a 124 year prison sentence.
Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, and Dog, Tim and Leland were
arrested by the Mexican authorities. After being released on bail, Dog,
his family and team, returned to Hawaii and to their lives as bounty
hunters.
Thursday, September 14th at 6:00am, U.S. Marshals stormed Dog's home
and took him into custody. They then did the same to Leland and Tim. The
three are being held in Honolulu where they will face an extradition
hearing to Mexico. There will be a hearing in Hawaii today at 3:00pm local
time. At that point we will have more details to share with you.
As we have more news we will post it to www.uncollardognow.com
