Voice of Stephanie Salazar

The arrest of a Kona International Airport Transportation Security Administration employee during a sting operation is making headlines around the country.

Dawn Nikole Keka, formerly a lead transportation security officer at Kona Airport, was arrested by TSA officials last week for allegedly stealing $200 from a special agent posing as a Japanese tourist.

TSA officials say they set up the sting after hearing complaints that Keka was stealing cash from Japanese travelers passing through her screening lane.

Reports say Keke has since quit her job. She now faces a federal embezzling charge.
