DUANE, LELAND AND TIM CHAPMAN NEED OUR HELP! PLEASE VISIT WWW.DOGTHEBOUNTYHUNTER.COM TO LEND YOUR SUPPORT TO THE CHAPMAN FAMILY AND KEEP THESE THREE AMAZING MEN ON U.S. SOIL!http://www.dogthebountyhunter.com/fanclub/Club/FreeTheD og.phpThis is Dog, Leland and Tim's story:On June 18, 2003, Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman made news with his hunt and capture of Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster, who at the time was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Luster had fled the United States in the middle of his trial for poisoning and rape, and was convicted in absentia on 86 counts including multiple rape charges connected to assaults in 1996, 1997 and 2000.Chapman was assisted by his "hunt team", consisting of Tim Chapman and son Leland. Mexican authorities ordered Chapman and his team to transfer Luster into Mexican police custody, but they refused, and were arrested for kidnapping and unlawful detainment. On July 3, 2003, they were officially declared fugitives by a spokesman for the Mexican Government, after failing to report to the Mexican courts as ordered.On September 14, 2006, just days prior to the statute of limitations, Chapman, along with his son Leland Chapman and associate Tim Chapman (no relation), were arrested by United States Marshals and jailed in Honolulu on behalf of the Mexican government. All three were charged with felony restraint involving the 2003 "kidnapping" of Andrew Luster. Bounty hunting is a crime under Mexican law, and they each face up to four years in Mexican prison if they are convicted. After spending one night in the federal detention center, Chapman told reporters: "The federal marshals treated us with great respect. But let me tell you, you never want to go to a federal prison, because it's terrible."On September 15, 2006, Chapman appeared in a packed Honolulu courtroom, his ankles in shackles. Although the magistrate agreed that the men were not a flight risk, he ordered that they each wear an electronic monitoring device around their ankle. The three men were released on bail ($300,000 for Duane Chapman, $100,000 each for Leland Chapman and Tim Chapman).As of September 2006, Chapman was fighting extradition. His lead attorney Brook Hart reportedly planned to argue that although the charge Chapman faces is a felony in Mexico, it may be only a misdemeanor under American law. An extradition hearing has been set for November 16, 2006, where both sides will present evidence and witnesses. Chapman has speculated that his arrest was due in part to a possible prisoner exchange agreement between the Mexican and American authorities. According to Chapman, the federal agents 'sold him out', by trading him in for a convicted Mexican drug lord.On February 16, 2007, a Mexican Federal court cleared the way for Duane Chapman to be extradited, ruling there was no reason not to try him with the charge of deprivation of liberty in Mexico.

My Grandpa. He's the best man I've ever known. In the Navy for 30 years and lost a son in the South China Sea, incredibly smart and kind. Has loved his wife unconditionally for over 60 years. They simply do not make men like him anymore.My Mom and my aunt Lulu. Two women who've taught me to be smart, fiesty as hell and independent (in life and in thinking).My favorite picture ever taken of them (My Mama's the little one in front)!
