HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A 43-year-old woman was arrested Thursday for allegedly attempting to travel with nearly two pounds of meth in her carry-on bag, said the Department of Public Safety.

Authorities said Julia Leilani Kaulukukui was charged with one count of promoting a dangerous drug.

The drugs were discovered during a routine security checkpoint search when Kaulukukui was about to travel from Honolulu to Hilo, officials said.


According to the department, Deputy Sheriffs assigned to the airport notified the Narcotic Enforcement Division (NED). After an immediate investigation, NED agents confirmed the confiscated substance was meth.

I hope 'elepaio considers breaking bread with her and talking story.

Damn. I bet she's been successful in the past. Surprise, surprise! An especially diligent agent perhaps, or what?

I wouldn't want to talk story with her. She's likely to be in a foul mood.

There were some recent arrests of employees, maybe she lost someone on the payroll...

30K bail for 2lbs of meth? Is it me or does that seem comically low? At any rate - a round of applause for the Officer.
