35-year-old Dorian Thompson of Kailua-Kona was arrested and charged with drug and bail offenses after police intercepted him arriving at Kona international airport with more than 21 gams of suspected fentanyl.

On Friday, February 2, Hawaiʻi County Police Department Area II Vice officers, along with Homeland Security Investigations Taskforce agents, contacted Thompson as he was deplaning an inbound mainland flight and arrested him for violating his court ordered bail conditions that stemmed from a recent drug related incident.

Investigators then obtained consent to search his items and recovered 21.7 grams of suspected powdered fentanyl from his bag. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, .02 milligrams of powdered fentanyl is considered a fatal dose, with a street value of more than $12,000.

Thompson was taken to the Kona police cellblock while investigators continued the investigation. He was charged with one count each of violation of bail and second-degree promotion of a dangerous drug. His bail was set at $52,000. He remains at the Kona cellblock pending his initial Kona District Court appearance this morning.
