When Kahale-Sugimura was shot and arrested Tuesday, he was out on $40,000 bail awaiting Nov. 27 trial in an auto theft case after a similar altercation with police in September after allegedly stealing a motorcycle.
Last week police spotted Kahale-Sugimura at a Heleconia Place house in Aiea at 3:31 p.m.
He fled on a stolen motorcycle, crashed it at Alvah Scott Elementary School, then ran to a nearby house on Moanalua Road, police said.
Kahale-Sugimura hit a 68-year-old male resident in the head and entered the house, police said. While officers surrounded the house, Kahale-Sugimura jumped into the resident’s pickup truck. He quickly reversed, accelerating the vehicle, and drove toward several officers, hitting two, who were not seriously injured, police said.
Four officers fired several shots, striking him multiple times, police said. He was taken to the hospital in serious but stable condition.
Kahale-Sugimura had been convicted of 14 felonies, mostly robbery and ither property crimes,
