Authorities Reveal Why 2 Armed Men Were Busted Near Oprah Winfrey’s Hawaii Ranch
Two 19-year-olds who were arrested late at night last month near Oprah Winfrey’s ranch in Hawaii are suspected of illegal hunting, authorities said.
The young men were stopped just before midnight on June 21, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said in a news release Monday. They were allegedly spotted using a hunting spotlight on a public road which runs through Winfrey’s property in the Kula area on the island of Maui.
“This happened near the intersection of Thompson Road and Kamaʻole Road,” the release said, adding: “Thompson Road is a public road that runs through private property owned by the Oprah Winfrey Ranch.”
