Wanted parolee who fled deputies back in custody

The 39-year-old parolee who fled in a BMW before being arrested Thursday on Ala Moana Boulevard, turned himself in to sheriff’s deputies at 12:30 p.m. today.

Bronson Gouveia had checked in with his parole officer just before 7 a.m. Thursday. The officer was about to have him arrested for violating parole, but just as deputy sheriffs arrived Gouveia fled. They ordered him to stop, but he left in a waiting car that sped off.

After his surrender today, the Department of Public Safety said Gouveia was taken to the Oahu Community Correctional Center for intake processing, and he will be transported to Halawa Correctional Center.

Gouveia’s record includes first-degree assault, first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery, as well as weapons and drug charges.
