Maui Police Department Lieutenant Charged with Taking Bribes from Criminals to Protect Chicken Fighting and Drug Operations on Maui
According to the criminal complaint, Vaituulala used his position as a lieutenant in the Maui Police Department for personal gain over many years. Vaituulala accepted regular cash payments from individuals organizing illegal chicken fights in exchange for using his official position to ensure that MPD did not enforce animal fighting laws against those individuals. Vaituulala and others met with organizers of the chicken fights to discuss logistics and conditions for holding the fights, with Vaituulala providing his approval for the organizers to open a chicken fighting location and the days on which fights could take place.
Vaituulala also protected individuals engaged in drug trafficking and improperly shared confidential law enforcement information with them in exchange for cash payments.
Terracore Posted: None of the airlines I'm aware of willingly transport adult roosters interisland or out of Hawaii unless they are mandated to by a USPS contract.
TC, it has been some years but, I distinctly remember, more than once, seeing folks traveling inter-island with many of those single chicken, plywood transport boxes. They were headed to "shows". Not sure what airline and it may have been 15 years ago but it was a thing.
