Dog the Bounty Hunter Airs Arrest on TV  9/20/06

US reality TV star Duane 'Dog' Chapman has turned his recent arrest and incarceration into a segment for his hit cable show.

The bounty hunter, his son and brother were arrested last week (ends15SEP06) as fugitives from Mexican authorities. The trio was charged with conspiracy and the illegal detention of convicted rapist Andrew Luster in a country where bounty hunting is a crime.

They spent almost two days in jail in Hawaii before they were released on bail on Friday (15SEP06).

And Chapman hasn't wasted the footage of his legal troubles - it featured as part of a special edition of his hit A&E show Dog the Bounty Hunter last night (19SEP06).

Chapman is currently free on $300,000 bail awaiting an extradition hearing set for 16 November (06).

Defiant Chapman says, "If cop killers... and drug lords that have hurt thousands of people are brought back from Mexico, and my sentence is six months, then I'll gladly meet them (officials) at the Juarez border."
