Thread: ALIPAC: How can we help Dog Chapman ?

Friends,

Please help me collect the articles and reports about the wrongful arrest of Dog Chapman here. We need to discuss what we might be able to do to help him.

This is just like the incident with the Border Patrol agents.

Again, La Raza boy Alberto Gonzales and the sell out executive branch has acted on behalf of lawbreakers instead of our men and women in enforcement.

I can't believe they arrested Dog Chapman at his home with children at gun point. It's not like Dog Chapman would have run from a warrant. I bet there were children in the home.

Extradited to Mexico? Hell no!

Let's see the material. Let's hear your thoughts.

Please be succinct.

When I first read this, I thought you meant it had happened recently.. But after doing some searches, I think this happened on June 18, 2003

HONOLULU -- TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping three years ago.

Chapman, son Leland Chapman and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody and did not resist arrest, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii. "It went down without incident," Hanohano said.

Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular cable series "Dog The Bounty Hunter," said Chapman would be vindicated. "He arrests the bad guys - and he is definitely not one of them," she said.

The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Villarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington.

Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country after being convicted of raping three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on A&E.

The three are being held in Honolulu. Bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said.

Chapman's son Leland, 29, and Timothy Chapman, 41, no relation, assist Chapman in exploits chronicled for the TV show around the Hawaiian Islands. The show focuses on Chapman's family as much as the bounty hunting, which generally involves tracking down bail jumpers, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives.

Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said.

Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police. Their refusal to do so led to their initial arrest.
A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday.

I am a fan of the Chapman family. They have had problems and in the past and changed their lives for the better.

It is not only Dog being extradicted but also his son Leland and Tim (no relation just associate but seem like family to me, from the closeness I see on TV). This is insane!

Anything I can do to help. Another proven point the Mexican government is corrupt. Here is a guy who was also helping protect Mexican women and young girls from falling prey to Luster and they charge him with kidnapping. However the Mexican government is belly aching because a lot of Americans want the illegal aliens (criminals) out of our country. urrgghhh

With the corruption in Mexico Luster would have paid off the authorities and fled again.

If they put Dog in prison in Mexico he may be killed or severely injured because of his career putting felons back in jail.

Isn't their some law dealing American people in prisons in other countries? The government should be more concerned for his safety in the corrupt prison than the fate of a rapist.

The US Government should tell Mexico that Dog Chapman will roam free here in the US busting bad guys till Mexico detains and extradites the over 3,000 murderers they currently refuse to return to the US for trial!

It seems funny to me that if a Mexican national runs to Mexico they will not send him back to the US for prosecution yet we are suppose to send one of ours there? Tell them to take a hike. Let us know of any ideas or what i can do to help.

I agree good point William
