A 37-year-old pregnant Kula woman has been charged with multiple criminal charges in what police are describing as the largest seizure of processed marijuana in Maui County history, the Maui News reported.

Cindi Sylva, who is seven months pregnant, is being held at O'ahu Community Correctional Center, because Maui Community Correctional Center was not equipped to handle her "high-risk pregnancy," defense lawyer Samuel King Jr. said.

Sylva has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree commercial promotion of marijuana, first-degree promotion of a detrimental drug and two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia.

On Aug. 12, police obtained a warrant to search boxes that arrived on Maui through a private freight company. Police found 130 pounds of processed marijuana. Police got a tip that suspicious pieces of freight were being sent from California to Maui.

Another search warrant was executed the next day at a private storage facility in Kahului, leading to the seizure of about 1.5 pounds of processed marijuana and drug paraphernalia, police said.

Second Circuit Judge Joel August on Friday reduced Sylva's bail from $1 million to $250,000.
