A 34-year-old man who allegedly entered the Kaneohe home of a 63-year-old woman and threw uncooked rice on her carpet Friday night was arrested the next day while in police custody, police said.

The man was being held in the Kaneohe police sub-station on an unrelated incident yesterday when an officer suspected he may have been involved in the rice-throwing incident that occurred at 5:15 p.m. Friday, police said.

The 63-year-old woman and a witness identified the suspect from a photographic line-up and the man was arrested for investigation of unauthorized entry into a dwelling, police said.
