The Kona Crime Prevention Committee recognized Officer Jason Foxworthy as “Officer of the Month” for March in a luncheon ceremony Wednesday (March 2) at Huggo’s restaurant in Kailua-Kona.

Foxworthy was honored for an investigation into an auto theft. On January 16, Foxworthy and a recruit he was training, Officer Dayson Taniguchi, were assigned to a vehicle theft at a shopping center in Kona. Through interviews of possible witnesses, they identified a suspect. When they located the suspect, he had drug paraphernalia and brass knuckles in his possession. After his arrest, detectives recovered the stolen vehicle, along with 2.4 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

Also in January, Foxworthy and Taniguchi investigated 36 incidents, three traffic accidents and 50 miscellaneous public complaints. They made 14 adult arrests and issued 57 traffic citations.

Foxworthy was previously named “Officer of the Month” in February 2012, July 2012 and June 2014. As “Officer of the Month,” he is eligible for “Officer of the Year.”
