Advertiser Staff
Two women accused of accepting a special-delivery package from Las Vegas containing 455 grams of crystal methamphetamine will be arraigned July 30 at Circuit Court.A District Court judge today ruled there was probable cause for the warrantless arrests of Denzie H. Thomas, 44, and Charlene Leiola Yim, 60, following a preliminary hearing and sent the case to Circuit Court for trial. The women are each being held in lieu of $30,000 bail.
According to a court document, police intercepted a package weighing four pounds last Tuesday at the Federal Express station and set up a control delivery. Police raided a residence at Hui Alala Street in 'Ahuimanu when the package, rigged with a tracking device, signaled police that it was opened.
Thomas and Yim are charged with first-degree meth trafficking.
