Ronald Joseph Kong
Hawaii County police are looking for a 33-year-old Mountain View man, described as “extremely dangerous,” in connection with abuse, assault and terroristic threatening cases.
Police said Ronald Joseph Kong fled on foot into thick forest area near Mountain View on Tuesday after he was stopped by officers while driving a stolen pickup truck at about 3:30 p.m. near Kukui Camp Road.
Officers arrested a 31-year-old woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle. But later released her without charges.
Kong is described as 5-foot-9, weighing about 190 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He is known to frequent the Puna District.
Police said Kong is a suspect in additional cases that came to light following the execution of search warrants on a stolen vehicle and a backpack.
Kong was wanted on suspicion of abuse of a family household member, second-degree assault, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, and first-degree terroristic threatening cases in which he allegedly assaulted and threatened a 31-year-old female companion in a dispute in Puna on Jan. 4.

Could the 31-year-old woman who was in the stolen truck be the same 31-year-old female Kong allegedly assaulted and threatened on Jan. 4? Just wondering.
As usual, numerous arrest and convictions and he is wandering around. When will Hawaii stop making these mistakes.
He seems like a very bad guy but I guess I don’t understand the definition of a terrorist any more.
Bad kids go on Santa’s naughty list.
Unleashed the police Malinois dogs. When they catch him pretend you don’t hear his screams in the forest.
What is a Malinois dog? Hope it is not black in color. A certain ethnic, human race here in Hawaii eats them.
Do like the Europeans do. Get the bloody, blood hound dogs, German Shepards, and the pit bulls to do the searching.
