HONOLULU (KHON2) — Authorities say an Oʻahu Community Correctional Center work furlough inmate failed to return to Module 20 on March 21, leading to a second-degree escapee charge.
Jason S. Takaki, 45, left Module 20 on the morning of March 21 on a job-seeking pass, and was instructed to return to the Module prior to 2 p.m. When he did not return, the Honolulu Police Department, along with state sheriffs, were notified.
Officials describe Takaki as 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighs approximately 158 pounds and has brown eyes and hair. He is at the OCCC serving time for unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, forgery and theft.
The escapee charge he now faces is a Class B felony, which is punishable by up to five years in prison if convicted.
Takaki is a community custody inmate, which is the lowest classification status, in the work furlough program with pass privileges.
Anyone with information on Takaki’s location is asked to dial 911 or the sheriffs at (808) 586-1352.
