April 23, 2007. Undercover police conduct a sting operation to catch drug dealers near the corner of Banyan and Kanoa Streets in Kalihi.

Residents said dealers and users swap drugs and cash right in front of families and small children in the middle of the day.

Police said they nabbed Bradley Fiafaimane, 40, doing just that. He sold a bag of crystal methamphetamine to the undercover cop.

Police said Bradley Fiamaimane was arrested here in a Weed and Seed district of Kalihi, right in the heart of two churches and a school yard just across the way.

"We're talking 10:30 in the morning, so this is broad daylight. I'm sure children are in the area. This is during the weekday, but this is probably everyday this is going on. And again residents are getting tired of it and they're calling detectives," said Sgt. Kim Buffett, Crimestoppers.

Fiafaimane's arrest in this high-crime area means stiffer penalties.

"He was arrested for meth trafficking in the second degree, which is punishable by up to ten years in jail. And no less than one year. So he's looking at from a year to ten years in prison," Buffett said.

Police said Fiafaimane went on the run after release pending his court date on the drug charge.

Bradley Fiafaimane also known as Bradley Mane.

The 40-year-old Samoan is about 5'11'', 185 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

"He does have tattoos unfortunately it doesn't say what those tattoos are in our system. But he does have tattoos, I believe on his back," Buffett said.

Police said Fiafaimane has 24 arrests and nine convictions on charges from assault to auto-theft.

He's known to frequent the Kalihi area.

Bradley Fiafaimane is our fugitive on the run this Wanted Wednesday.
