Celebrity Justice
Drop the Chalupa -- Dog's Going Nowhere!

A federal judge in Hawaii has ruled that bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman will not face extradition to Mexico on charges of "unlawful deprivation of liberty." The Dog is finally free!

The judge found that there was no evidence that Dog, son Leland and brother Tim were actually charged with an extraditable offense or that a "valid warrant for their arrest exists."

As TMZ first reported
, a Mexican trial judge threw out all charges against Dog and his associates last August, but a federal judge said he needed more time to look at the case -- and went on a 3-month vacation! That judge finally ruled today, ending the Chapman's Mexican legal nightmare.

The group had been charged for their role in the 2003 capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who disappeared while awaiting trial on rape charges in California -- he was convicted in absentia. Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico. Luster currently sits in the slammer serving a 124-year prison sentence.

91. I just read some of these statements. It makes me sick to hear people put down good people. What are you smoking? Now, it is time for Sharpten and his buddys to go to bed and ATV put Dog and family back on TV. The sooner the better.

92. Why is it wrong for Dog to protect his family that means their income too? Just because he says "N" does not mean that he is talking about the black or African Americans. There are white as well as black "N" it is not the color of your skin it is your character the type of person you are on the inside, not what color you are. And sounds like to me Dog knew that this girlfriend was not the type of girl he wanted his son dating. I mean she is threating to wear a wire to catch Dog saying the "N" word that should tell you right there that she is just out for what SHE CAN GET! And if Dog wants to use the "N" word in his home then he should be able to do so without having to worry is someone taping me. If one of my children were dating someone that I knew was not the type of person they needed to be with I would also let them know that. Just like Dog did. That is what a parent is suppose to do guide ,protect and help our children.

BLOCKBUSTER ENQUIRER INVESTIGATION
'DOG' IS A CRACKHEAD
'Bounty Hunter' spends up to $2,000 a month. Instead of walking the
straight and narrow, eyewitnesses claim Duane Chapman is breaking the
law.
"Ive seen him so messed up that he couldn't get to his office to film
his TV show".
Duane Dog Chapman is a crackhead, several eyewitness sources have
exclusively told The ENQUIRER!
The mullet-haired felon chaser has been smoking crack cocaine since
at least 1995, say the eyewitnesses-and spent up to $2,000 a month on
drugs, a blockbuster ENQUIRER investigation reveals.
And in one of the most blatant examples of celebrity hypocrisy ever,
Dog urges the lawbreakers he collars on his hit A&E show, "Dog the
Bounty Hunter" to go straight and kick drugs-while he gets higher
than a kite, according to those close to him.

"Duane Chapman is a phony! I know-because I'm his crack dealer!"
tatooed blonde Linda Heigle, who's been selling drugs to Chapman
since March 2005, to The ENQUIRER.

"I've sold crack to him, smoked crack with him more than 100 times
and seen him so messed up that he couldn't get to his office to film
his TV show!
http://media.livedigital.com/pictures/61/9b/619b680d523cafa8c5de835ccc854076.bmp
Chapman's former girlfriend DaLana Duncan also claims she smoked
crack with him in 1995 and again in 2005 in Denver. "Dog is a
cokehead. He snorts it, smokes it and eats it," DaLana told The
ENQUIRER.

"He WAY overdoses it-and he can't get enough. Once, I refused to give
him any more drugs because I thought he was going to die!"

Sympathy poured out for Chapman-whose top-rated show is in its third
season-after federal agents recently arrested him for extradition to
Mexico.

But the night before his Sept. 14 arrest, Linda says he bought $200
worth of crack from her-and he bought another $100 worth of crack
from her before authorities hauled him off to jail the next day!

The extradition case is now on hold-but in the months leading to his
arrest, Chapman blew thousands of dollars on a wild drug spree.

"Dog bought about $2,000 worth of crack a month from me for about a
year and a half," said Linda, who passed a polygraph test.

"He'd usually buy crack from me twice a week, for hundreds of dollars
at a time. He'd pay in cash so his wife Beth wouldn't find out.

"The first time we did business was in March 2005. Duane said he'd
pay me $2,000 for a girl and drugs. I sold him five grams of crack,
but he wasn't capable of having sex after we smoked it."

Shockingly, Chapman smoked crack inside his Oahu, Hawaii, home while
his children were sleeping, according to Linda.

"If the kids were getting up, he'd go into the bathroom," she said.
"When his wife was sleeping, we smoked outside in his car or the
garden."

Smoking crack also triggered severe paranoia in Chapman, says Linda,
who adds that he once spent two years in a Texas prison on murder
charges.

"Duane would think someone was filming him or recording him," said
Linda. "He would run around the house, checking the windows and doors
to make sure they were locked."

What's more, Chapman-who claims to be a born-again Christian-even got
high before taping his show, according to Linda!

"He'd smoke all night before filming his TV show. Then he'd be too
high to go do the show," said Linda, 41, who's moved from Hawaii to
California to escape her druggie past.

"Beth would be calling, cursing and saying,'I've got 20 producers
here waiting for Duane.' But Duane wouldn't leave. He wanted to stay
and keep smoking crack.

"I'd have to shove him into the shower, pour coffee down his throat
and then get him to take a Valium to bring him down."

Tawny Chapman, who was married to Dog in the early 90's, also says
she witnessed his crack use firsthand.

"Two years after we separated, I went to his house and the kids were
all home. When Dog opened his door, he was smoking a hit of crack,"
Tawny told The ENQUIRER. "The pipe was in his hand.

He said, 'Mind your own business!' and physically threw me down six
steps into the yard.

"Dog is always talking about rehabilitating people on TV, but I know
him for the phony he is. I can't stand his hypocrisy anymore."

Chapman even smoked crack with his son Christopher, according to
those close to the family. Now 37, Christopher is in a Colorado jail.

"Christopher told me he was smoking crack all the time with Dog in
1996. He blamed Dog for getting him hooked on crack and so do I,"
said Gloria Hecht, who raised Christopher from the time he was 5.

Chapman's ex-girlfriend DaLana Duncan also confirmed the "Bounty
Hunter" used drugs with Christopher. "One time I picked Dog up at a
hotel in Denverand he told me that he and Christopher had been
smoking crack for five days," said DaLana, who also passed a
polygraph test.

When contacted by The ENQUIRER about claims by Linda, DaLana, and
Gloria that he smoked crack, Chapman said, "They're all lying."

Asked if he ever smoked crack, he answered:"Why would I tell you
that?" Then he insisted that he's "never" smoked crack
cocaine-adding:"I have a lot of enemies right now because of this
thing in Mexico."

Despite his denials, Linda claims she only has Chapman's best
interest at heart.

"I'm revealing the truth about Duane Chapman to make him get help
before it's too late," she said. "I don't want him to die."

Shocking Claims: Bounty Hunter's ex-lover reveals WHAT A REAL "DOG"
HE IS
By: John Blosser

They dont call "Bounty Hunter" Duane Chapman "Dog" for nothing!
In a shocking tell-all interview, Delana Duncan-a woman who claims to
be Dog's ex-lover and drug buddy-says she can blow the lid off th A&E
star's carefully crafted born-again, anti-drug image.
Dalana's chargees come on the heels of Chapman's arrest in connection
with his capture of convicted rapist Andrew Luster in Mexico three
years ago. Chapman has been released from jail on $300,000 bail.
According to DeLana, Dog got legal custody of her when she was 16 by
falsely claiming he was her natural father. Seven years later she
says the married ex-con seduced her with cocaine. What's more, she
claims, the two shared a cocaine-fueled sex party in October
2005-just months before Dog married his longtime girlfriend Beth!
"Dog" Chapman stole my childhood and ruined my life," DaLana, now 36,
told THE ENQUIRER. "I needed a father-all he wanted was sex."
They met in 1987 when DaLana was 16 and Dog, then 34, was a bail
bondsman in Denver, Colo. She'd violated probation and he tracked her
down.
"He told me:"I'm your dad and I'll help you,' but it was a lie," said
DaLana, who passed polygraph test administered at the ENQUIRER'S
request. "He went to court with me and got custody, claiming he was
my natural father. I lived in an unheated camper in his front yard,
with Dog telling everyone I was his daughter," she claims. "One
night, we went to a drive-n movie. Dog was drunk. He grabbed my
breast and said: "I've always loved you. You know I'm not your real
father.' I was shocked and pushed him away. The next day, he said he
was drunk and didn't mean what he said."
DaLana says their affair started after Chapman brought her to Hawaii,
where she lived with his then-wife Tawny.
"One night, when I was about 24, Dog came over and had another woman
bring cocain," she asserts.
"He kept rubbing himself against me, saying: 'Come on, baby, let's
get it on." I kept saying: No!' But he wouldn't listen. I finally
said: 'If I have sex with you, will you leave me alone?" I was so
stoned I didn't know what I was doing."
"That night, we had sex for the first time. We became lovers,' she
claims.
"Dog took me to the Big Island with him and told his kids that I
wasn't his daughter-I was going to be their new stepmom!
"I stayed with Dog from late 1994 to August of 1995, and then I went
back to Denver."
Duane Chapman had DaLana's name tatooed on his arm.
DaLan Duncan has pictures of her with Duane Chapman in her apartment
and out by the pool.
In October 2005, she claims Dog visited her and they used drugs and
had sex.
"Here he is on TV praying for druggies to get clean and he's using.
He's such a hypocrite," she said.
When contacted by The ENQUIRER, Dog said:"I just feel very sorry for
this woman-someone I had a relationship with years ago, and whom I
have tried to help since then. I have been, and will always remain,
faithful to my wife, Beth.
"We will not dignify her false accusations with any further comment."
DaLana added: "Now that Duane's facing extradition to Mexico, people
think he's a big hero. I want everyone to realize what a liar he
really is."

100. I think it's ridiculous that this dude is being persecuted for a private conversation that he had! This is insane. People should be able to say what they want in the privacy of their own home and to their own family without having to worry about losing their job!

101. I think the real thing here is that Dog needs to get with his family and work out some serious problems. Problems that are of no one else's concern. He has some serious conflicts with several of his kids.

104. Yea, haven't you ever heard of the BFLA?
Run, when she says, "pregnant"
Quit your job at McD's if she asks for money to help support the baby
Change your name to TJ, RT, PJ or Ass so that she can't find you
Lie and say that you have never met her

105. I cannot believe that people believe that rag magazine. Dog's son is the one who should be punished for what he did, not Dog the Bounty Hunter.
