Bounty hunter Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman arrested

Oh boy - the wife won't be happy about this one. Dog The Bounty Hunter was arrested in Hawaii charged with kidnapping in Mexico, for which he was arrested and subsequently (and with particular irony) skipped bail.

Turns out this is in relation to him going down there and getting the Max Factor heir Max Luster, to bring him back to the US to face trial on rape charges (he's since been put away for over 100 years for the crimes). It appears that Bounty Hunting is a crime in Mexico, so he's charged with kidnapping - apparently a "diplomatic note" was issued by the Mexican authorities to institute extradition procedings against him.

Sounds to me like Mr Luster must have paid off a few diplomats to make his life in Mexico nice and easy, and when they didn't protexct him, he's getting his money's worth in revenge. Here's hoping they chuck this out of court with the speediness it deserves (although I have a feeling if that happens, it'll turn into some big diplomatic incident).
