   A New York City tourist in Hawaii was arrested for violating the   
   state's quarantine rule after he shared photos of himself on   
   Instagram at the beach, authorities said.   
      
   Tarique Peters, 23, was arrested after local residents saw the   
   pictures and alerted Hawaiian authorities.   
      
   Staff at the hotel where Peters was staying also confirmed to   
   authorities that they saw him leave his room and the premises   
   several times since he arrived in O‘ahu on Monday.   
      
   "He allegedly left his hotel room the day he arrived and   
   traveled many places using public transportation," a press   
   release from the state's COVID-19 information center states.   
      
      
   Peters posted numerous photos of himself as he walked around   
   Waikiki, went to the beach with a surfboard and sunbathed, the   
   release states.   
      
   He was arrested on Friday by special agents with the state   
   Department of the Attorney General for violating a rule that   
   travelers to Hawaii self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival   
   and for "unsworn falsification to authority," according to the   
   release.   
      
   Peters is being held on a $4,000 bail. A local man was with   
   Peters when he was taken into custody, and charges for that man   
   are pending.   
      
   It is not clear if Peters has legal representation.   
      
   “We appreciate the assistance of local people who spot flagrant   
   violations of our emergency rules on various social media sites   
   and report them to the appropriate authorities," Attorney   
   General Clare Connors said.   
      
   The Hawaii Transportation Department in April said travelers   
   arriving in Hawaii must self-quarantine and sign a document   
   acknowledging that violating the rule is a criminal offense that   
   could result in a $5,000 fine and/or a year in jail.
