Duane 'Dog' Chapman is currently out on bail


Duane Chapman is out on bail and A&E has wasting no time scheduling a "Dog: The Bounty Hunter" special covering the bounty hunter's recent arrest.

On Tuesday (Sept. 19) night at 10 p.m. ET, A&E will air "Dog: The Family Speaks," an hour-long special that the cable network says will feature "exclusive interviews offering a first hand account of the events leading to Dog, Leland and Tim's dramatic arrest stemming from their heroic capture of convicted rapist Andrew Luster in Mexico more than three years ago."

Duane Chapman, son Leland Chapman and unrelated fellow bounty hunter Tim Chapman were arrested on kidnapping charges last Thursday morning in Hawaii.

As A&E said, the charges against the Chapmans date back to 2003 when the bounty hunters went down to Mexico to capture Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was on the run for several months evading multiple counts of rape. Mexican authorities wanted Luster handed over to them, denied Chapman and his gang permission to leave the country, declared them fugitives from justice and tried to get them extradited to Mexico for sentencing.

Chapman's arrest last week came as he was shooting the fourth season of the wildly popular reality show focusing on Dog and his family. He posted $300,000 bail over the weekend, but he's still awaiting extradition to Mexico.

I can't believe the Mexican athorities are that stupid...
He takes a sexual preditor off the street, and they want to punish
Dog, his BROTHER Tim, and son Leland. How sad is that? The show on A&E last night was excellent.
Nice job on blogging... I enjoy.
Love you.....
