All criminal charges may have been dropped in Mexico against TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, his son and another member of his crew for capturing a convicted American rapist on the lam four years ago, TMZ reported Thursday.

A Mexican federal court had charged Chapman, 53, and the others with deprivation of liberty for seizing Andrew Luster, an heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, in June 2003 in Puerto Vallarta.

Chapman was awaiting a possible extradition to Mexico and a criminal trial there. He faced four years in a Mexican jail if convicted.

Luster, a serial rapist, was wanted by U.S. courts when Chapman caught him. He's now serving a 124-year prison sentence.

The cosmetics heir jumped a $1 million bond and disappeared during his trial in California's Ventura County on charges that he drugged and raped three women.

The disappearance set off a national and international manhunt by police, FBI and bounty hunters trying to recoup some of the bond money.

Bounty hunting is a crime in Mexico. Chapman was jailed briefly with his son and associate after they were arrested there on Sept. 14, 2006, but was free on $300,000 bail.
