Boy allegedly throws metal through police car windows

A 17-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly threw a 2½-pound barbell plate at a police officer in Wahiawa.

Police said the officer was investigating reports of a man hitting houses with a 3- to 4-foot-long stick on the 2100 block of California Avenue at 6:05 a.m.
