Mexico Wants Bounty Hunter 'Dog'

Chapman Believes Agreement Allows Him Out Of Country

POSTED: 4:36 p.m. HST August 12, 2003

Duane "Dog" Chapman is now a wanted man in Mexico. Authorities in Puerto Vallarta Tuesday issued an APB for Chapman, his son, and brother in violation of their bail.

The group is charged with criminal association and deprivation of liberty after they captured fugitive Andrew Luster. Chapman and the group were jailed for several days in Mexico.

Mexican authorities had detained Chapman along with his son and brother for two weeks because under Mexican law bounty hunting is illegal.

Luster is now serving a life sentence in state prison.

Mexican authories want the men to be extradited so they can appear in court. Chapman said he left Mexico thinking he was not required to stay there and that it was sufficient for his lawyers to stay in touch with Mexican officials. The bail required them to sign in at court every week.

Chapman, who calls himself the greatest bounty hunter in the world, was seeking $320,000 from a California court for Luster's capture. However, his request was denied.
