Two men have been charged with drug and conspiracy offenses in connection with a package of suspected crystal methamphetamine.
On Thursday, the Airport Task Force intercepted a package destined for a Kailua-Kona residence that was flagged by a narcotics detecting canine. Vice Section officers executed a search warrant and recovered about 40 grams of a substance they suspect to be crystal methamphetamine.
Investigation led to the arrest of two men Friday, 25-year-old James Boyle and 31-year-old Clayton Sexton, both of Kailua-Kona. They were arrested and taken to the Kona police cellblock, where Boyle was charged with criminal conspiracy and first-degree promotion of a dangerous drug and Sexton was charged with criminal conspiracy and attempted first-degree promotion of a dangerous drug.
Boyle’s bail was set at $15,000. Sexton’s was set at $60,000. Both men remained at the cellblock pending their initial court appearance scheduled for Tuesday.
