I'm not sure why they would wait either. Maybe they're going after him now since he's famous.

HONOLULU - TV reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in the bounty hunters’ capture three years ago of a cosmetics company heir.

Chapman, son Leland Chapman and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody and did not resist arrest, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. Marshal for the district of Hawaii. “It went down without incident,” Hanohano said.

Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular cable series “Dog The Bounty Hunter,” said Chapman would be vindicated. “He arrests the bad guys — and he is definitely not one of them,” she said.
The charges stem from Chapman’s capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington.

Chapman’s capture of Luster, who had fled the country while on trial on charges he raped three women, catapulted the 53-year-old bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on A&E.
Chapman, shackled at his ankles and wearing a blue muscle T-shirt at his first court appearance Thursday, said the government was jealous of his success in hunting down criminals.

“You see what the American government is doing to us? They throw us in jail,” Chapman said in a federal courtroom. “I’m so upset about this.”

The three are being held in Honolulu. Bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said.

Chapman’s son Leland, 29, and Timothy Chapman, 41, no relation, assist Chapman in exploits chronicled for the TV show around the Hawaiian Islands. The show focuses on Chapman’s family as much as the bounty hunting, which generally involves tracking down bail jumpers, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives.

Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Vallarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said.

Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police. Their refusal to do so led to their initial arrest.

A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday.

Chapman’s wife, Beth, said he didn’t do anything wrong.

“If Duane has to return to Mexico to take care of any misunderstanding, then that’s what he will do,” she said outside the courthouse.

He was supposed to give Luster to the Mexican authorities so that they could deal with the problem. Rather than do that, he abducted the guy so that he could claim the reward that was put out for his arrest. Since bounty hunting is illegal, once the mexicans found out, they arrested him, he jumped bail, and now they've decided to take action.

Even though the Luster guy deserved to go to jail, Dog was completely in the wrong. Think about it this way:

Dog the bounty hunter is NOT a police agent, nor does he have special police rights or anything like that. He is a regular person, who runs a "bonds" shop. If someone is arrested, they can pay money to remain free until trial. A 'bond' is a type of security payment, that allows the suspect to remain free while insuring that they appear at court. If the person doesn't appear, they forfeit the bond and a warrant is issued for their arrest. All Dog does is take the suspects into custody, and he recieves the 'bounty' for their arrest (i.e 'bounty hunter'). Pretty much all he is doing is using a "citizen's arrest" to obtain the culprit. Anyone can perform a citizen's arrest, though it is highly unrecommended because it can lead to legal problems.

The fact that they jumped bail shows their disregard for what they do because THEY go after people who jump bail, and do the same thing.

So in the end, you have a CIVILIAN, breaking international law, to claim a reward issued for an arrest. Then, after first breakin international law, they SKIP BAIL, thus breaking the law again.

Sure, Luster needed to be arrested. All Dog had to do was give him over to Mexican authorities, and everything would have been kosher. Instead, they were greedy and wanted money, so they abducted him from a country. For that, yes, he deserves to go to jail.
