The 21-year-old suspect was held by the owner of the van until police arrived. The suspect was arrested early Monday on suspicion of breaking into a vehicle.
Suspect accused of terroristic threatening
A 28-year-old man is in police custody after he threatened three people during a fight Sunday night.
Police said the incident began as a fight between the suspect and a 26-year-old woman in a Waipahu home. The suspect left, then returned just before 11 p.m. and threatened the victim and two other people — a 26-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman. The suspect fled and was arrested just after midnight a few blocks from the home on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening.
