Charlene Leiola Yim, 60, of 'Ewa Beach, and Denzie H. Thomas, 44, of 'Ahuimanu, were arrested Wednesday after they allegedly accepted delivery of a drug shipment from out of state at Thomas' Hui Alala Street home.
Police had intercepted the package and set up the controlled-delivery operation, according to Narcotics/Vice Division Capt. Kerry Inouye.
The shipment allegedly contained about one pound of methamphetamine.
Yim and Thomas were charged Friday. They are being held in lieu of $30,000 bail each at the O'ahu Community Correctional Center, pending Tuesday's preliminary hearing.
