Feds list state's most wanted
Cases range from sex crimes to drug offenses to threats
POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Jan 27, 2009
Two men charged with sexual assault and a third who was originally charged with making death threats against a U.S. president are among those from Hawaii on the U.S. Marshals Service's 2009 most-wanted list of criminals.
Federal marshals are looking for Frank Lefrandt Jr., who was awaiting sentencing on charges related to sexually assaulting a 13-year-old newspaper delivery boy. Lefrandt, 47, an independent newspaper contractor working with The Honolulu Advertiser, was supposed to have begun serving a prison term this Monday but jumped bail set at $5 million.
His car was found at the airport, and last week he was in Santa Ana, Sonora, Mexico, and headed for either Guatemala or San Salvador, said James Lindblad, a bail bondsman looking for him.
Lefrandt, also known as Franci Cornelis and Frank Cornelis Lefrandt Jr., is wanted on a bench warrant. He is described as 6 feet tall and 220 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.
The Marshal's Office is also looking for Mauro Martin Ortiz, 28, of Puna for allegedly kidnapping and sexually assaulting a girl in Hawaiian Paradise Park.
Ortiz, described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 180 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair, was indicted by a Big Island grand jury on 13 counts, including seven first-degree sexual assault charges and one count of kidnapping the girl on June 21.
His bail was set at $1 million.
Authorities were looking for him in order to serve him with the indictment.
James Craig Tabor, 43, was charged with making death threats against a U.S. president.
Tabor was placed on supervised release but allegedly violated the release in 2002, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Tabor, 5 feet 11 inches tall and 190 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair, is wanted for violating supervised release and was last seen in 2006 at a state facility.
U.S. Marshals spokesman Jay Bieber advised the public not to approach any of the wanted individuals, but to call police about their whereabouts.
"I would consider anybody on this list dangerous," he said.
Others include:
» Alifeleti Taufa, 32, also known as Alfred Taufa, Alfred Tonga-Taufa or Alfred Tonga, for an alleged robbery of a business on Dec. 9, 1998, that forced patrons and employees to lie on the floor and give up their belongings.
» Geraldine C. Lara, 36, charged with a narcotics violation.
» Pavit Nittayanupap, 61, charged with making false statements.
» Jose Osuna-Armenta,
41, charged with a narcotics
violation.
» Chris Hong Tran, 28, charged with a narcotics violation.
» Arkin Taecharatanaprasert, 61, charged with making false statements.
» Charisse Macloves, 30, charged with a narcotics
violation.
