DPS: Motorcycle Thief Won’t Be Considered For Furlough

By /
The state’s Department of Public Safety says a recent letter to the Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office was poorly worded. 

The head of a gang of motorcycle thieves who was sentenced to 10 years in prison is not being considered for the work-furlough program, the department’s spokesperson told the Star-Advertiser.

Prosecutor Kaneshiro held a press conference Wednesday to blast the department for considering Thang Nguyen for the program after just five months behind bars.
