STATE SHERIFF DIVISION CONDUCTS NIGHT WARRANT SWEEP — As part of an on-going effort to address outstanding warrants, the Sheriff
Division Special Operations Section-Fugitive Unit conducted a warrant sweep Tuesday
night.

The sweep targeted traffic, Grand Jury, Probation/Parole violations and criminal outstanding warrants.

29 warrants were cleared and 20 arrests were made. The warrants included 2 Grand Jury and 27 traffic.

Of the 20 arrests, 5 were unable to post bail and sent to the Honolulu Police Department for an overnight stay.

“We will continue to work at reducing the existing warrants backlog by utilizing sweeps to maximize limited resources,” said State Sheriff Robin Nagamine. “We encourage anyone with a warrant to turn themselves in.”
