Driver allegedly involved in Kunia car chase is charged

 

Authorities filed charges against two people involved in a car chase that began in Wahiawa Tuesday and ended in a search for suspects in Kunia. But charges were still pending for a 46-year-old Kaneohe man who was the main subject of the police pursuit.

Adlida Correia, 27, a Kaneohe resident, is charged with resisting an order to stop, reckless driving, resisting arrest, and driving without a license. Her bail was set at $7,000.

Police closed Kunia Road for more than an hour early Tuesday morning after five people fled from the car into a cane field when it ran out of gas near the Royal Kunia Golf Course at about 1 a.m.

Police arrested the three suspects and two other suspects remained at large. 

Police said the Kaneohe man threatened another man with a handgun at about 11:30 p.m. Monday and then fled with the other suspects in a car driven by Correia.
