Duane “Dog” Chapman is being sued, E! Online reports.

The bounty hunter, who has his own reality show on A & E, is being sued by Simaile “Cisco” Lutu, who is also suing Chapman’s bail bond business, the cable net and local police.

The California man claims he was mishandled by Chapman’s bounty hunting team last May, when Lulu was mistook for being Samu Savea. Lutu claims he was mishandled, when Chapman realized the mistake, he let Lutu go.

The next day however, the Daly City police descended on Lutu, arresting him at gun point. He was released, but was arrested again by the local police the following day.

“This is reality TV run amok. There’s got to be a bright line between television entertainment on one hand and real police work on the other,” Lutu’s attorney, Jim Hammer, said to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Chapman told the Chronicle he had no idea Lutu was this upset about the mistaken identity.

“Cisco called me right after the show and said, ‘Thanks, Dog, all the girls love me now.” Brother, I haven’t heard anything that he’s upset.”

Lutu is seeking unspecified damages.
