How did Mexico get US Marshals to arrest Dog the bounty hunter?

Question

Why go after him after three years?

I understand how warrants are issued and thank you to the Marshal for explaining that. My feelings is that is now Dog has success and a tv network with money invested in him, someone in the Mexican government decided to yank him back for these offenses. I am sure he will pay a hefty fine and it will be forgiven.

It is funny to me that Mexico can harbor a multiple rapist yet wants to arrest the one that captured this criminal.

I think our law enforcement are doing what they should. If I were the judge handling the case, I would have disallowed any arrest of Dog but allowed Mexico to sue him. He should pay financially for what he did wrong in another country, but he did capture an international criminal.

Answer 1

Because all of the mexico secret agents swam over long ago, so they are understaffed.

Answer 2

Oh my, I knew I would find some commentary on this subject but I had hoped with as many answers as I found that at least one would have done the research. Yes, that means no one was even remotely correct. Here is how it works:

The Mexican government gets the paperwork together which has to be in accordance with our extradition treaty. The Mexican government then presents this to the Department of State, who then send it to the Federal Court system.

Did you see what happened there, it stopped. Do you know why? Because the Judges issue the warrant, not the Marshals or any of the federal agencies, just one Judge. The Marshals only execute the arrest warrant, that’s it. Not one individual on this page has any idea how the judicial systems works or what treaties we have with Mexico. Have a good night.

Answer 3

Dog the Bounty Hunter Special appeared on A&E last night. Critics may dismiss his plight because they see his show as a novelty. But I say to you this is of great import because there are three men’s lives at stake. This certainly deserves the attention of the public and the US government.

I am so incensed at his arrest and possible extradition back to Mexico. The whole thing is disgusting.


Duane “Dog” Chapman’s life and the life of son Leland & brother Tim hang in the balance over a minor misdemeanor – the capture of Andrew Luster – notorious rapist now serving 124 year sentence in prison.

While in custody in a US federal detention facility, their lives were threatened by familiar faces and other inmates seeking revenge for his bounty hunting profession. The Mexican prison’s conditions would be worse and they would most likely not live to serve the 4 month to 4 year sentence that misdemeanor carries.
“…. Mexico routinely declines to extradite suspects facing life in prison or the death penalty. Mexico's Supreme Court, which favors rehabilitation and views capital punishment and no-parole sentences as cruel, has blocked numerous extraditions until U.S. authorities agreed to lower the potential punishment a suspect faced in an American court.”
“Mexico itself has a mixed track record for returning fugitives. In the case of American citizens who flee to Mexico, it can take U.S. officials months or even years to get a fugitive returned if they have a good lawyer.”

I hope the Department of Justice does not let the American people down and three of its very fine citizens that need its help. Keep the Dog Free!!!!

Answer 4

I think it has some thing to do with Andrew Luster's arrest....he must have some deep pockets and connections.
It is a travesty of justice that our government has had anything to do with it....Dog should be given a medal for doing what he did.
I would have not gone to court in another country either.

I hope Dog saved his reward money for defending himself now!

Answer 5

The feds, (US Marshalls, FBI, etc) do not like Bounty Hunters. Local police departments tolerate them to an extent, but for the most part, they are a bane to the Feds.

When mexico requested that the Feds go aftrer him, they would be glad to especially considering the way that he extolls doing the right thing, going to court dates, etc. They're making an example of him.

Answer 6

Do you have a link so i will examine the story,. and despite if that's actual then particular he's a hypocrite EDIT!!!!!! ok wait a minute. He became arrested for kidnapping ...it is bogus becuase he became bringing a fugitive abode. stupid quotes of jealous people. no longer hypocritcal... basically undeniable stupid on the regulations area. somebody attempting to be sought after for arresting the great undesirable canines. somebody needs to get a life.

Answer 7

Ick! I think the Dog and his entire crew are soo white trash. I hiss everytime his advertisements come on or when my husband watches it. Maybe he was arrested because everyone one on the show was in violation of the white trash hair code; ie. The Mullet, The Rat Tail, The Bufont Perm. Yuck Yuck Hiss Hiss. Hooray for the end of The Dog!

Answer 8

Who cares I think it's frickin hilarious!!!!! I watch his show all the time and that midget is always preachin that people need to take care of their responsibilities i.e. GOING TO COURT! Which apparently he DIDN'T do. It could only have been funnier if another bounty hunter caught him and cussed him out the way he does when he catches someone. And the moral of the story is............................"Angry midgets should not have any kind of power or responsibility"

Answer 9

I think it is B.S. Apparently Mexico has no staute of limitations.
They are just mad b/c they are tightening up the border patrol

Answer 10

They threatened to stop all exports of guacamole, refried beans, and taco shells. Oh the horror, the horror...
