'Dog' Chapman Arrested in Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) -- The man known as ''Dog the Bounty Hunter'' is under arrest in Hawaii.
US Marshals say they took Duane Chapman and the two co-stars from his reality show into custody on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy.
It all stems from the events three years ago in Mexico that made Chapman well-known enough to get his own reality show. Chapman, along with his son and a partner, captured Andrew Luster, who had fled the US after being convicted of raping three women.
After the Chapmans caught Luster, Mexican authorities demanded that they turn him over to them. They refused and they themselves were arrested. Charges have been pending against Chapman, his son Leland and the associate ever since. They posted bail, but never returned to Mexico for their court hearing.
A publicist for the star of the A-and-E series says Chapman will be ''vindicated.''
He says, ''He arrests the bad guys and he is definitely not one of them.''
