Maui police arrested two Chicago women at a Maui Airport on Monday night for allegedly violating state and county mandatory orders relating to the 14-day quarantine on arriving travelers.

Police say Michelle Cardenas, 28, and Charlet Dupar, 36, were arrested for two counts of Rules and Orders. They were located and taken into custody at 7:17 p.m. on Monday under a coordinated effort between prosecutors, Lahaina Patrol, Airport Police and Hawaiʻi Visitors Bureau.
