33-year-old Jordan Mineshima Jr. was arrested after bringing a firearm and drug paraphernalia to a First Circuit Court building on Oʻahu.

As Mineshima approached the entrance to the Kaʻahumanu Hale courthouse, he told the Allied Universal Security Officer that he had a firearm in his bag. Deputy Sheriffs were notified and immediately responded. Mineshima then gave them permission to search his bag and they secured a firearm and ammunition. Sheriffs determined that he did not have any permits or registration for the firearm. Deputies also discovered what appeared to be drugs and drug paraphernalia on his person.

Mineshima was arrested without incident and booked by Sheriffs for several possible felony firearm and drug counts including Place to Keep Pistol/Revolver, No Permit to Carry Weapon, Ownership/Possession Prohibited (Convicted Felon), Place to Keep Ammunition, Promoting a Dangerous Drug 3.

 The Department of Public Safety’s Narcotics Enforcement Division was called in to assist. The case is expected to be turned over to the Department of the Attorney General for further investigation.
