A 28-year-old Mililani man has been charged with assaulting three police officers who were attempting to break up an argument early Friday morning near Chinatown.
Gordon Scott was charged Saturday with three counts of first-degree assault of a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, abuse and three outstanding bench warrants. His bail was set at $100,000.
The incident was reported at 2:50 a.m. as an argument between a man and a 35-year-old woman at Nuuanu Avenue and South Beretania Street.
The first responding officer was hit in the face when he tried to calm the suspect, police said. The suspect allegedly attacked two other officers who arrived to assist in the arrest.
The woman tried to help the suspect and was arrested on suspicion of obstructing government operations. She was released pending further investigation.
Victim of fatal motorcycle crash is ID’d
The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday identified the 32-year-old man killed when his motorcycle collided with a car Friday night in Waialua as Nilo Sanchez Castro Jr.
The crash happened at 10:50 p.m. Friday at Waialua Beach Road and Oliana Street. Police said the Waialua man was traveling east when his motorcycle collided with a car.
Castro was thrown from his motorcycle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The 36-year-old driver of the car was not injured. Police said Castro was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Excessive speed appears to be a factor in the crash, police said.
The cause of death is pending an autopsy.
Man arrested in stabbing of girlfriend
Kauai police arrested a 33-year-old Eleele man Sunday after he allegedly stabbed his 18-year-old girlfriend while they were arguing in a parked car at a shopping center.
At about 2:15 p.m. Sunday police responded to the parking lot at Eleele Shopping Center after multiple witnesses reported seeing a couple arguing in a gold Lexus sedan near AceHardware and it appeared the male started stabbing the victim, who was seated in the driver’s seat.
The victim ran from the car, and the suspect fled on foot. Police said bystanders tended to the victim, who was near the entrance of Big Save when officers arrived.
The victim sustained a single puncture wound to her stomach and was transported to Wilcox Hospital in stable condition.
Shortly after the incident, officers located the suspect at an Ulupua Road home in Eleele and arrested him on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder.
