EL CAJON, Calif. -- Duane "Dog" Chapman, the flamboyant, born-again bounty hunter in trouble recently for his use of the n-word, has been nixed from the lineup in El Cajon's Nov. 19 Mother Goose Parade.

"It was mutually agreed between Duane 'Dog' Chapman and the Mother Goose Parade Association that Dog would not participate in the parade this year. Dog did not want to cause any disturbances with the parade," according to a statement from the city.

The parade is primarily for children.

The National Enquirer recently published a story, quoting Chapman using the n-word as he talked about his son's girlfriend.

Chapman is an ex-con who did time in a Texas prison for a 1977 murder and later became a bounty hunter. He is probably best-known for nabbing Southern California date-rape suspect Andrew Luster, an heir to the Max Factor fortune, in Mexico in 2003.

The arrest helped Chapman, now based in Hawaii, get a reality show on A&E, which was put on indefinite hiatus Friday as a result of the controversy.
