Police on Saturday said Daniel Kirkutis, 42, of Rhode Island, arrived at Kahului Airport from Los Angeles without a negative pre-travel COVID-19 test from an approved facility, nor approved lodging in which to complete his mandatory, 10-day travel quarantine.

Kirkutis was transported to the Wailuku Police Station for processing without incident. He later volunteered to leave Maui and fly to Vermont.
