Tourists continue to try to circumvent the 14 day arrival quarantine in Hawaii. Police are getting tired of tracking people, and laws have been changed to make the residential HOST (B n’ B, Hotels, private home rentals,etc) responsible for their guest’s compliance with the quarantine and require the reporting of quarantine breakers.
So when a host noted that their quarantined guests left the premises, they called the police. This couple dropped their luggage and immediately broke quarantine and went out ‘adventuring’, which included posting all their pictures on instagram. This included one of them shooting a feral chicken with a speargun. Police arrested them, with a $4000 bail on the quarantine jumping charge, and an additional charge of animal cruelty for the chicken incident. They are still in jail.
Welcome to your Hawaiian Vacation…..scofflaw idiots!
