A newlywed couple from California was arrested while on their honeymoon in Hawaii for allegedly not following the state’s mandatory traveler self-quarantine order, Hawaii’s governor’s office said Friday.

Borice Lepovskiy, 20, and Yuliia Andreichenko, 26, of Citrus Heights were taken into custody on Thursday by special agents from the Hawaii Department of the Attorney General, the governor’s office said.

“AG Special Investigators were notified and arrested the couple. They are being charged under Hawai‘i Revised Statutes for unsworn falsification to authority and violation of the 14-day quarantine,” the governor’s office said.

AG Special Investigators = Gestapo. When this is over I will be visiting Hawaii like never.

Meanwhile Fredo Cuomo and George Steponallofus broke quarantine at least once, and no criminal penalties for either...

“...were taken into custody on Thursday by special agents ...”

Way to go special agents...blue lives matter.

I feel so safe now.

They’ve ruined one of the most important days in the lives of this couple. There had to be other, more diplomatic ways this could have been handled. Maybe some Desk Clerk was in a snit for ‘being ignored’ by the slightly tipsy Newlyweds. Maybe the Bell Boy’s tip was too small.
Stay away from that WETBLANKET of a Hotel.

Even in the 1950s this would have been written: the groom was found in a previously prohibited area.

What kind of government do we have when one law, actually not even a law, but a “mandatory order,” can make anything and everything illegal, in this case honeymooning?

A couple more highly dangerous criminals locked up and Hawaii only had to let 10 convicted murderers out to make room for them in prison.

There’s no telling how many morbidly obese octogenarians were saved by getting these two dangerous criminals into jail where they belong! Probably zero, but we will never really know.

But they had protection...

[Fast Moving Angel]

Oh, right. So they fly to Hawaii and are in quarantine for 14 days. For most people, their trip would be over with by then and they’d have to fly back to the mainland. Doesn’t give them a lot of time to sightsee (or spend money).

Who arrested the agents for not abiding by social distancing?

Hawaiians don’t want anyone in Hawaii that isn’t Hawaiian.
