HONOLULU -- Bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, of Hawaii, was one of several parties hoping to collect some bail money from convicted rapist Andrew Luster at Tuesday's court hearing in Ventura, Calif., but just about everyone came away disappointed, including Chapman.

Chapman and his entourage were not pleased with the ruling in the Ventura County courtroom. Chapman bolted out of court after the judge ruled the professional bounty hunter illegally apprehended Luster and was not entitled to any of the $1 million.

"I can't condone vigilanty justice from the law," Judge Edward Brodie said.

Luster is now serving a life sentence in state prison after Chapman tracked down and captured him in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in June. Chapman, who calls himself the greatest bounty hunter in the world, was seeking $320,000 in compensation and expenses after being arrested for efforts in Mexico.

"Does this make the criminals now want to run, is this a good message to send to the California criminals? No matter what whether we get paid or not we come to get him," Chapman said.

Chapman is among five parties that laid claim to the bail money after Luster was apprehended for his conviction of drugging, raping and videotaping three women in his Mussel Shoals beach home.

The judge also ruled the bail money belonged to the convicted Max Factor heir and not his mother, Elizabeth, which opened the door for others to lay claim to the funds.

"The whole notion it belongs to his mom was a way to keep it from his victims," victims' attorney Bill Daniels said.

While Chapman didn't receive a dime, the county was awarded $165,000 for their efforts to locate the wanted fugitive. Despite the ruling, Chapman said he will continue to hunt down convicted criminals on the run.

"When we first got in this case it was not about the money. It was about Andrew Luster versus the Dog. Andrew Luster lost and Dog won," Chapman said.
