The Hawai’i Fugitive Task Force arrested 16 people during a warrant sweep on Hawaiʻi Island last week.

“Because of the dedication of the US Marshals Office and the Sheriff Division, we were able to track down 16 men and women in one day and serve them with 33 warrants,” said Hawaiʻi Police Chief Harry Kubojiri.

During the sweep on September 14, agents served 23 warrants on the East side, and 10 warrants on the West side of the island.  The bench warrants ranged from criminal contempt of court to habitual DUI.
