Big Island extended furlough inmate Tasha Gardner was returned to the Hawaii Community Correctional Center on Friday, according to the state Department of Public Safety. She was arrested by Hawaii County Police Department officers on Tuesday.
On Nov. 25, Tasha failed to report for her scheduled check-in at HCCC.
Inmates in the extended furlough program live and work outside of the facility but must check in at various times each week.
Gardner was serving time for theft, forgery, burglary, ID theft and fraudulent use of a credit card. Second-degree escape is expected to be added to her charges.
