Man on mo-ped stalks student
A University of Hawaii-Manoa student reported being accosted by an unknown man as she walked from a student residence toward lower campus Friday afternoon.
The student told UH campus security that she was walking down an access road from the Hale Wainani student residence at about 2 p.m. when she saw a man sitting on a parked mo-ped by the Hale Noelani Market.
The man followed her on the mo-ped, tried talking to her and then grabbed her by the wrist. The student said she pulled free and went to a nearby group of students as the man rode away.
The suspect is described as being in his 20s, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds with long curly dreadlocks and a moustache, and wearing dirty long pants and a faded shirt.

Kuhio Highway work to begin
Kauai County will begin improvements Monday to Kuhio Highway on the north end of Wailua Beach near the intersection of Papaloa Road and Kuhio Highway.
Work will include improvements to the drainage system, including installation of a pre-treatment drainage manhole to reduce potential pollutants from being discharged into the ocean. The roadway improvement project is part of Ke Ala Hele Makalae, the multi-use path from the Wailua Bridge to the Kauai Sands Hotel.
Roadside work for another segment of the multi-use path is taking place along Kawaihau Road in Kapaa and is expected to continue until the end of November.
