An extradition hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Circuit Court for a 42-year-old city bus driver wanted in Las Vegas for alleged child sex crimes.
Police and U.S. marshals arrested Rodney Hosino at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Oahu Transit Service’s Middle Street facility before he started driving his Waikiki bus route. Hosino has been a bus operator for 15 years.
An arrest warrant was issued March 30 for Hosino, a Waikiki resident, in Las Vegas on seven counts of sexual assault against a child and four counts of lewdness with a child.
Las Vegas Metro Police Department sought the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Task Force in Hawaii to track down Hosino and return him to Nevada.
Hosino is expected to appear at 9 a.m. Thursday before Circuit Judge Richard Perkins. He is being held in the police cellblock pending his court appearance.
