Fugitive from Michigan is caught in Aiea
A convicted sex offender and parole violator who fled Michigan was captured Monday when U.S. marshals found him hiding in a bedroom closet in Aiea.
A U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested Roderick Jenkins, 50, of Detroit in an apartment on Koauka Loop.
Michigan’s Department of Corrections issued an arrest warrant for Jenkins on Feb. 13, 2008, for parole violation.
After tracking Jenkins to Hawaii and the Aiea residence, officers with the U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection entered the apartment at about 6:15 a.m. and apprehended him.
Jenkins has convictions for armed robbery, breaking and entering with intent, and criminal sexual conduct. He was taken to the Honolulu Police Department cellblock pending a court appearance and extradition back to Michigan.
Search turns up pot plants, hash, heroin
Hawaii County authorities charged a 58-year-old Kau man with several drug offenses after police said they found 113 marijuana plants in a search of his home last week.
Vice officers served a search warrant Thursday on a Bamboo Lane home in Ocean View. Inside were 113 marijuana plants up to 3 feet tall, 1 pound of dried marijuana, 22.2 grams of hashish, 4.5 grams of heroin, eight prescription pills and paraphernalia used to distribute and cultivate marijuana, police said.
Police arrested David Klemz, 58, and two other Ocean View men, ages 51 and 43.
Klemz was charged Friday with commercial promotion of marijuana, promoting a dangerous drug, promoting detrimental drugs, promoting harmful drugs and possessing drug paraphernalia. His bail was set at $36,000.
Alan Greiner, 51, was arrested and charged on two unrelated bench warrants for failure to appear in court but was released pending investigation on any offenses relating to the search warrant.
The 43-year-old was released pending investigation.
