Dog the Bounty Hunter: Professional Career
Chapman made world headlines on June 18, 2003, when he apprehended Andrew Luster, who had left the United States in the midst of his conviction on charges of drugging and raping many women. Luster was found guilty in his absence on 86 counts, including multiple rape charges stemming from offences in 1996, 1997, and 2000. Chapman had help from his “hunt squad,” which included his son Leland and Tim Chapman.
Luster was apprehended by the three bounty hunters in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he had been staying under a false identity. They were stopped by Mexican police on their way to California and still in Mexico, and all four of them were arrested. Luster’s identity was verified by police, and he was apprehended.
Chapman was featured on Take This Job, a show about people with odd jobs, after decades of bounty hunting. This prompted him and the show’s production company to create a spin-off about his attempts to apprehend bail fugitives, specifically Chapman’s pursuit of Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Chapman was filmed for the truTV television series Dominick Dunne’s Power, Privilege, and Justice on August 28, 2003, shortly after Luster’s arrest. At this time, Chapman’s name has become well-known in the United States. It was during this time that A&E wanted to make a reality show based on his bounty hunting career.
