Police used a Taser and a Stop Stick, a device to deflate the tires of a moving vehicle in a controlled manner, to arrest a man driving recklessly and speeding on Kuhio Highway in Kapaa, Kauai County officials said Wednesday.

The suspect, Samuel Contrades, appeared in court Wednesday on charges of second-degree reckless endangering, reckless driving, resisting an order to stop and resisting arrest.

Kauai police responded to a report of a reckless driver traveling at speeds of 80 to 90 mph on the highway at 4:45 a.m. Monday.

Officers said they saw a speeding white Nissan sedan and placed a Stop Stick in the road in front of the vehicle.

Once the vehicle had stopped, Contrades fled on foot and police used a Taser to detain him, police said. Officers took him to Wilcox Memorial Hospital before booking him at the Lihue police cellblock.
