Americans face criminal charges in capture of cosmetics heir

? Three U.S. bounty hunters, a TV producer and an actor will face criminal charges for leaving Mexican police out of the dramatic capture of cosmetics heir and convicted rapist Andrew Luster in this resort city, a local prosecutor said.

Hawaii-based bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman, his brother Timothy, his son Leland, reality TV producer Jeff Sells and actor Boris Krutonog were arrested about two hours after they captured Luster near a Puerto Vallarta taco stand where he had just ordered breakfast.

Prosecutor Marco Roberto Juarez said Friday that he was charging the five with criminal association and illegal deprivation of liberty.

Thursday, authorities expelled Luster, heir to the Max Factor fortune, to the United States, where he is appealing a 124-year prison sentence for the drugging and rape of three women.

The five posted bail, but were being turned over to the National Immigration Institute for questioning. Chapman had told reporters he hoped to reap a reward from the $1 million in bail that Luster had forfeited by fleeing during his trial.
