Honolulu deputy prosecutor arrested at DUI checkpoint in Kapolei
A city prosecutor was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Kapolei, an embarrassing hit for the office that prosecutes those same cases.
- A 28-year-old deputy city prosecutor was picked up on Kapolei Parkway early Saturday morning.
- She was released on $500 bail about 90 minutes later and has worked for the office for two years.
- Two other people were arrested in the same area around the same time.
- The stop came during a joint police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving push tied to a nationwide "Saturation Saturday" crackdown.
- The prosecutor's office confirmed it knows about the arrest but declined to say anything more.
Outlook: Expect questions about her job status and how the office handles a case against one of its own.
