Chapman, his son and brother were charged by Mexican authorities with illegally capturing Luster. The three, who were arrested with the fugitive after passers-by reported a scuffle, returned to the United States after posting bail of their own.

Chapman's attorney, Robert Sanger, said the bounty hunter faces only misdemeanor charges.
I guess they didn't go back for trial, which I understand is common...post bail and get out..
OK, so the DOJ has Hawaiian police lock him up for jumping bail in Mexico, and he "could now be extradited", for jumping bail on a misdemeanor? Is this a Saturday Night Live sketch? They can't be seriously spending our tax money on this stupidity.

I realize all the cops, fed, state, local and foreign, hate the Dog. He's obnoxious and makes a fortune, doing what they do daily for comparative peanuts. He also embarrasses them by grabbing people they can't, because they don't have time and resources to devote to that one fugative....they have other things to do like protect and serve.
But that said, this is just an outrageous waste of resources.

I can't help but wonder, taking this case and the border guard case, why were kissing Mexico's butt? Has tw convinced the administration we'll all starve to death without the illegal pickers?

In his interviews, Dog has claimed this is an under-the-table deal between our government and Mexico. I'm inclined to believe he is right because I've heard too much about how those agencies down there operate. There is no death penalty in Mexico, which allows kidnappers and assassins to walk out of jail after a maximum of 30 years, and in the meantime they continue to run their businesses from inside with impunity. They refuse to extradite any Mexican (legal or not) to the US after he flees from there, no matter how horrible the crime or the proof that he committed it, if somebody in Mexico feels we will "mistreat" the miscreant in any way similar to what he did to the victims. The slimeball who Dog grabbed was not a Mexican citizen or even a former resident, he was just a rich guy who was being given carte blanche because he has the money to pay for sanctuary. Thus there is no way anybody can claim that Dog voilated anybody's civil rights, the most they can accuse him of is leaving the country to enter the US without permission and THAT is something which 10,000 Mexicans do daily on our border

His REAL crime? He skipped out without paying off the local comandante who requires a bribe to look the other way.

I'm sure Dog will come out smelling like a rose. Publicity, baby, publicity.
