51 year-old Tyler Adams was recently arrested by federal authorities in Newport Beach, California on a state warrant issued after he failed to return to the Laumaka Furlough Center in May 2019.

In September 2020, an O‘ahu Circuit Court judge issued a $50,000 warrant for Adams’ arrest relating to a second-degree escape charge, a Class C felony. Adams was a Laumaka work furlough inmate when he failed to return on May, 21, 2019.

He was serving time at the O‘ahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC) for two felony theft convictions at the time.

Adams is scheduled to be extradited to Hawaiʻi from California next week.
