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.
The reason I find this so fucked up is because it all happened three years ago. He's a bounty hunter, for Christ's sake. That's what his job is, he brings people in. Anyone care to offer any insight as to why this could have possibly taken so long?
