Kauai, HAWAII — A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced former Kauai County Councilman Arthur Brun to 20 years in prison for running a methamphetamine ring supplied by the United Samoan Organization, a gang that operates in and out of the Hawaii prison system.
The former vice chairman of the council’s Public Safety and Human Services Committee was one of a dozen people arrested in February 2020 on multiple felony charges.
Dozens of special agents from Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. mainland were brought to Kauai to work on the case.
