'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Off on a New Case

Our pal Dog the Bounty Hunter, aka Duane Chapman, responsible for the capture of Andrew Luster in Mexico this summer, is hot on his new case. Dog is tracking a Beaverton, Oregon softball coach named Andrew Garver who allegedly kidnapped and ran off with a 15 year old student in September. Police think the girl went willingly, but say she is too young to give legal consent. Dog says the trail leads to Vancouver, B.C. According to Dog (from the first linked article),

The alleged kidnapper's family retained Chapman for the search and the bounty hunter said he is in touch with them every day. Garver has shown suicidal tendencies in the past and Chapman said it is likely the suspect is carrying a weapon and may try to get himself killed by police.

Chapman said the suspect is emotionally unstable and is a "drugstore junkie." Garver takes up to 18 doses of Sudafed per day, drinks copious amounts of Starbucks coffee, and uses chewing tobacco, he said.

Dog is being more careful this time around about grabbing a suspect in another country:

Chapman said he has three or four people in B.C. working for him and looking for the couple. If Garver is spotted, Chapman said he could travel from Hawaii to B.C. in six to eight hours. Chapman said he won't attempt to restrain Garver on his own and has been working with Canadian officials in his search.

The Dog is a man on a mission. We wish him the best.
