HONOLULU -- A Honolulu Police Department major indicted earlier this year in a federal extortion case, was arrested by the FBI at his Waianae home on Monday night, accused of intending to distribute the drug crystal methamphetamine.

Carlton Nishimura was indicted in February by a federal grand jury. He is accused of conspiring to accept bribes from illegal gambling operators, in exchange for steering officers away from certain gaming rooms.

The FBI said it raided his Waianae home with a search warrant Monday night, discovering more than 200 grams worth of meth they believe Nishimura intended to distribute.

---------

He previously headed the Criminal Investigation Division, overseeing investigations of all kinds of crimes, including murders, rapes, robberies, thefts and assaults.
