Federal prosecutors describe him as the leader of a drug trafficking ring with deep ties to a notorious gang leader. Law enforcement says there is plenty of evidence to prove that Brun was the leader of the crime ring. There are taped conversations from wiretaps of both his cellphones. There’s also video of Brun actually making a drug buy.
Feds: Kauai Councilman Arthur Brun ‘a danger to the community’.

Brun is one 12 suspects indicted after a sting operation and now faces drug trafficking and weapons charges. Prosecutors have filed motions that Brun should be held in custody while awaiting trial because he is a danger to the community. Documents say, “He has the criminal connections and means to threaten and retaliate against witnesses.”

Hawaii councilman led meth-trafficking ring, conspired with Samoan gang ‘shot caller,’ investigators allege
By Stephen Sorace | Fox News | March 2, 3030:
A Hawaii councilman pleaded not guilty Friday to multiple charges accusing him of leading a methamphetamine-trafficking ring, supplying weapons and conspiring with a gang leader while serving as an elected official, investigators said.
Arthur Brun, 48, operated the major drug-trafficking conspiracy involving 11 other defendants since at least June 2019, while serving as an elected member of the Kauai County Council and vice chairman of its Public Safety and Human Services Committee, the U.S. Attorney’s Office alleged in a news release.
Crystal meth, known locally as “batu” or “ice,” gained a stronghold across the islands long before becoming popular on the U.S. mainland, investigators said, adding that its street value in Hawaii can be more than double its cost in the continental U.S.

Brun obtained meth from a “shot caller,” or leader, of the United Samoan Organization gang and had the drugs mailed to Hawaii from California for $9,000, prosecutors alleged in court documents filed Friday.
He “sometimes requested sexual favors as repayment for drugs he supplied,” prosecutors said. They cited phone wiretaps and testimony by a defendant who signaled he wanted leniency at sentencing in a federal case.
Brun also allegedly assaulted a state law-enforcement officer during a traffic stop in October 2019 in an effort to hide the meth he was transporting, according to investigators.
As the officer’s arm was inside the vehicle trying to take the keys, Brun sped off, injuring the officer’s arm and shoulder, prosecutors said. He then allegedly led police on a high-speed chase, throwing a backpack containing one pound of meth out of the car.
Brun remained in custody and was scheduled to appear at a bail hearing Wednesday.

I wonder if that bloke entered Democrat politics in order to progress his “business” interests – under cover.
It just shows that some parties choose on ethnicity rather than quality and a long record of unpaid public service.
It’s the same evrywhere,as Jewish tailors would say in the east end of London 120 – 130 years ago, never mind the quality my son, feel the width.

You haven’t lived until you’ve lived in a state where one brother is the head of the Irish mafia, and the other is the Democrat President of the State Senate.

The traffic charge seems the most serious too me, driving off with the officers arm in the car. I know of a similar event, not a police officer, but horrible, disabling injuries that left the victim permanently disabled with severe head trauma for life. As far as I’m concerned, they could throw away the keys.

Does give the full amount of what he was trying to sell to him all at one time. Put him a rubber room and walk away for 24 hours.

He is only the tip of the iceberg, the Democratic party here and especially in Arizona is being paid by the Mexican Cartel. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/01/former-democrat-the-truth-is-democrats-wont-build-wall-because-theyre-under-influence-of-mexican-mafia/
