A 36-year-old Kahului man was in custody Tuesday, accused of stabbing another man numerous times on Maui.

Waylon Santos has a preliminary hearing scheduled for today. He was being held at Maui Community Correctional Center, unable to post $1 million bail.

He was charged over the weekend with second-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary and contempt of court.

Santos forced his way into a 29-year-old Wailuku man’s home at about 4:35 p.m. Jan. 18, knocked the resident to the ground and stabbed him numerous times, Maui police said.

The victim was able to escape and call police. Officers canvassed the area but could not find Santos, police said. The victim also sustained injuries in the fall and was taken with non-life-threatening injuries to a hospital.

Officers arrested Santos at about 3:30 p.m. Friday.

Vandals destroy toilets at North Shore park

Vandals set fire to four portable toilets at the North Shore’s Kaiaka Bay Beach Park on Monday night, turning them into a heap of melted blue plastic, city officials said.

“What is really frustrating is that we have a restroom out there, and it was set on fire and burned to the ground (in 2014),” Mayor Kirk Caldwell told reporters Tuesday.

Fire investigators determined the cause of that 2014 fire was arson. The portable toilets were set up shortly afterward.

The city is expected, in the next few weeks, to sign a contract to replace the permanent restroom structure at a cost of about $500,000, Caldwell said.

“We don’t want to have that restroom completed and burnt to the ground again,” he said.

Caldwell urged the public “to show love for these parks,” adding, “This is our front yard. Whoever did this hurt everyone.”

Alluding to how busy the Haleiwa facility and other North Shore beach parks can become when there are enormous waves like the ones this week, Caldwell said, “The aunties, the tutus who go over there to look at the waves and use the lua … there is no lua.”
