Duane 'The Dog' Chapman arrested by feds

HONOLULU - TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman was arrested early this morning in Hawaii, his publicist, Mona Wood, confirmed. Wood said she could provide no details. MSNBC reports said U.S. Marshals arrested Chapman and two family members — Leland and Tim Chapman — on kidnapping charges.

The news channel said Mexico issued a warrant for Chapman's arrest for his alleged kidnapping of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster three years ago.

Chapman's capture of Luster — a serial rapist — in Mexico catapulted the bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on the A&E channel.

Wood says this is obviously a very upsetting time for the Chapman family. She says Chapman is a true modern-day hero.

"He arrests the bad guys — and he is definitely not one of them," she said, adding he would be vindicated.

Yikes!
Vigilanties don't pay, I guess.

i say it should be for crimes against fashion...

You should have seen the footage of him behind bars on MSNBC. He looked like a person getting booked on Cops, his hair was messy, he looked dirty and his eyes were all dark and puffy.

kidnapping...ironic i suppose, that was his job and all

I heartly approve of this arrest. He's such a scumbag, wanna-be law officer.

Dude captured a serial rapist, sounds okay in my book--get him back on the job.

I tend to agree with South Pacific. I have quite a few relatives involved in law enforcement and a close friend. I personally think you should be a legitimate law enforcement agent with ties to state, local or federal government to arrest people. I don't think bounty hunters are legal in Nebraska, and I'm kind of glad.
