Woman snaps at 'Dog' in injury suit
HONOLULU — A woman has sued Duane “Dog” Chapman, alleging that a member of the TV bounty hunter’s team threw her down a flight of stairs in 2005 and broke her back while her boyfriend was being apprehended.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Audrey Emery and seeks unspecified damages. Two other plaintiffs, including the boyfriend, seek damages from the bounty-hunting team in the same lawsuit.

Emery says the injury occurred during filming of Dog the Bounty Hunter and the arrest of Stuart Calistro.

Duane Chapman and his wife, Beth, released a statement saying their family has become a “target of frivolous lawsuits and publicity seeking attorneys.” Meanwhile, Chapman is waiting for a ruling by a Mexican judge about his pending extradition in a criminal case there.
