Press Release
HONOLULU – United States Attorney Clare E. Connors announced that Henry K. Lii, 58, of Oahu, was sentenced yesterday by Senior United States District Judge Helen Gillmor to 181 months in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release for possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to court records, in October 2023, while living in Honolulu, Hawaii, and on federal supervised release in connection with a 2007 federal drug conviction, Lii was found in possession of nearly three pounds of methamphetamine, as well as cocaine, marijuana, and a 9mm “ghost gun” used to protect his drugs and any drug proceeds. In February 2024, Lii pled guilty to both offenses, admitting that he intended to distribute the drugs and knowingly possessed the firearm in furtherance of his drug trafficking.
Judge Gillmor also sentenced Lii to an additional 36 months for committing the foregoing offenses while on supervised release on his 2007 conviction, to run consecutively to his 181-month sentence. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Eucker.
