Honolulu, HI – On Monday, November 24, 2014, members of the
U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force and Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) located and arrested 50 year-old Ronnie Chisholm of Oahu at an address
located in Hauula. Chisholm was wanted by the County of Maricopa, Arizona on an
arrest warrant for two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and three counts
of molestation of a child. All counts are classified as a dangerous crime
against children.
On or about September 11, 1988 to September 11, 1989,
Chisholm is accused of engaging in various sexual acts and sexual molestation
with a minor who at the time was six years old. Chisholm was in a relationship
with the victim’s mother while living within the County of Maricopa.
On January 20, 2000, a grand jury indictment for Chisholm
was filed by the Maricopa County Attorney’s office, but Chisholm had already
left Arizona and was living in Hawaii. Then on November 13, 2014, an arrest
warrant was issued by the County of Maricopa for Chisholm based on the January
2000 indictment. The Maricopa County Attorney’s office immediately sought the
assistance of the FBI and U.S. Marshals to track down Chisholm and return him
to Arizona. U.S. Marshals Task Force members and FBI agents in Honolulu
identified possible locations for Chisholm while conducting surveillance and
following up on leads. On November 24 at approximately 5:45 pm, U.S. Marshals,
ICE-ERO Task Force Officers, and FBI agents located Chisholm at his residence
on Kaipapau Loop where he was taken into custody.
Chisholm was transported and booked into the Honolulu Police
Department Central Receiving pending a court appearance and extradition hearing
back to Arizona.
