Duane “Dog” Chapman, his son Leland and brother Tim, can finally put one bad chapter behind them. Today a Mexican appellate court judge ruled that the bounty hunters will not be charged with any crimes. The group entered Mexico to apprehend Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who is now serving 124 years in prison.
The problem for the three is that it is against the law to bounty hunt across the border in Mexico. It sounds to me like they lucked out. I cannot imagine how a bounty hunter would do in prison.
Now that this nightmare is over, I wonder if Dog can mend fences after he spewed racial slurs in a phone call to his son. The rant, regarding his son’s girlfriend, was caught on tape and became a media fiasco for Dog. The incident cost him his TV show. The network canceled the popular Dog the Bounty Hunter series leaving the bounty hunters without a media gig.
