Dog the Bounty Hunter Being Charged in Mexico

Update: 9/14/2006 arrest news here.

******
This is not good news. Duane "Dog" Chapman, whom we have written a lot about this past week since he caught Andrew Luster, and his crew are going to be criminally charged in Mexico.

Prosecutor Marco Roberto Juarez said he is charging the five with criminal association and illegal deprivation of liberty, which is like kidnapping without requesting a ransom. Both charges carry a maximum of four years in prison.

The five were being transferred to a state penitentiary and court house in Puerto Vallarta, where the charges will be presented to a judge. They were led out of the prosecutor's office Friday unshaven and looking tired and glum. With their hands shoved in their pockets, they refused to talk to reporters. Chapman, his brother Timothy, his son Leland, reality TV producer Jeff Sells and actor Boris Krutonog were arrested about two hours after they captured Luster near a Puerto Vallarta taco stand where he had just ordered breakfast.

We're not the only ones in Denver to support Chapman. Read this. We know Dog's Denver lawyer and his Hawaii lawyer and we have no doubt they will be helping Dog and the others out immediately.

Fox News is covering the story Saturday night-- we were asked to go on but since we're out of town and way too far from any studios. we had to take a raincheck. If you're watching, we hope you will give him the benefit of the doubt.
