HONOLULU -- Federal marshals arrested bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and two relatives early Thursday morning at his home on Oahu.

The arrest involves Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster three years ago in Mexico. Luster was wanted in connection with a series of rapes.

Mexican authorities arrested Chapman, his son Leland and brother Timothy on kidnapping charges. Mexican authorities consider their bounty hunting efforts illegal detention and conspiracy.

Chapman's wife, Beth, arrived at federal court Thursday afternoon to attend her husband's first court appearance.

"If we did something wrong then we will stand up and face it. If Duane has to return to Mexico to take care of any misunderstanding, then that's what we will do," Beth Chapman said.

In the courtroom, Chapman appeared upset. Beth Chapman could be seen trying to calm him down before the hearing.

His attorney asked that Chapman have access to his medication. Then tried to get an immediate bail hearing, but U.S. attorneys argued for no bail.

The details of the extradition and whether it will be granted will be worked out in future court hearings.

"We have extradition treaties with Mexico, but it's usually for serious criminals not someone who was chasing down a serious criminal," Chapman's attorney Brook Hart said.

Hart said he is trying to get a reasonable bail set. That will not happen until another hearing on Friday afternoon. The judge indicated that he is inclined to allow the Chapmans out on bail.

The high-profile case launched Chapman into celebrity. Chapman now has his own reality TV series on the A&E cable channel.

Chapman's publicist, Mona Wood, released a statement to the media on Thursday morning.

“This is obviously a very upsetting time for the Chapman family. Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman is a true modern-day hero. He arrests the bad guys -- he is definitely not one of them. He shall be vindicated,” Wood said in the statement.

Mexican immigration authorities issued an alert for Chapman and two relatives after they failed to show up in court. The judge released them on bail on the condition they show up every Monday to check in with the court, according to Mexican authorities shortly after Chapman left the country.

The arrests came as a shock to the family and their fans.

"It's a shock, it's a sad day. For our country to come for him they should have protected him we need him over here," Dog fan Christa Fernandez said.

"I don't think they should have been arrested for doing something good," Dog fan Barbara Herman said.
