A social media model was taken into custody this morning in Laupahoehoe on an arrest warrant out of Florida for murder in the second-degree with a deadly weapon.
Twenty-six-year-old Courtney Clenney, of an Austin, Texas address, was arrested without incident at an undisclosed location. Members of the Hawai‘i Police Department assisted and stood by while Clenney was taken into custody by the United States Marshals Service. The warrant was issued by Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Clenney is being held at the Hawai’i Police Department‘s East Hawai’i Detention Center pending her initial court appearance in Hilo District Court, tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 11. She will eventually be extradited to Florida.
