Sheriffs catch Honolulu courthouse escapee

A 21-year-old man who escaped from a Honolulu courthouse on Wednesday has been caught.

The State Sheriff Division’s Fugitive Unit arrested Darius Puni-Mau at the Safeway on Pali Highway and Vineyard Boulevard Thursday morning.

According to officials, Puni-Mau managed to climb into an air duct in the building’s ceiling and walked out unnoticed.

Puni-Mau was booked and is being taken to the Oahu Community Correctional Center.

Officials initially thought two men had escaped on Wednesday. However, after a second count, they found that Puni-Mau acted alone.

Sherriffs are calling the incident unprecedented.

KHON2′s Brianne Randle is following the story. She’ll have the latest details tonight on KHON2 at 5 p.m.
