The Bounty Hunter, Duane "Dog" Chapman attended a book signing in promotion of his new book "You Can Run, But You Can't Hide" at Borders Bookstore in Hollywood, yesterday.
Chapman's Mexican legal troubles have reportedly been put to rest. The Mexican government dropped all charges against him, his son, Leland, and his brother, Tim. The prosecution was forced to drop the charges by order of the judge because the statute of limitations expired against his alleged illegal deprivation of liberty of serial rapist Andrew Luster.
On June 8, 2003, Dog and the other bounty hunters traveled to Mexico hoping to capture Luster, who had jumped his $1 million bail. Chapman reportedly claimed that he worked with FBI agents as well as Mexican police and thought he was well within the law once he found Luster and attempted to transport him back to the United States.
Chapman and the others were stopped at a roadblock and taken into custody while Mexican authorities turned Luster over to United States officials. Luster was eventually sentenced to 124 years in prison.
