Kailua man faces threat, assault charges after traffic accident

A traffic accident in Kailua Tuesday escalated into an incident where a 36-year-old Kailua man now faces criminal charges for allegedly threatening witnesses to the incident.

Police said the incident began at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday when a 36-year-old man began arguing with witnesses who saw the accident. The suspect allegedly threatened several witnesses, left and then returned with family members. During the ensuing argument the suspect allegedly damaged personal property and continued to threaten the witnesses.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening, second-degree property damage and two counts of second-degree assault. He was released Tuesday night pending further investigation.

  3. KaneoheSJ says:

    This has to be filed in World’s Dumbest Criminals. Did that man actually believe that the witnesses would succumb to his demands of silence just because he brought his clan with him?

    Why bother publishing this essentially empty article? Without including the names of the alleged perpetrator and others involved in the incident, or at least providing the address or area where the incident happened (“Kailua” is too vague), this is just a waste of time, bandwidth, newsprint and ink.

    Typical local punk action…

    The wonderful “ALOHA SPIRIT” rises again!

    Blame it on Kailua water. It causes people to do this. It also causes women to get married and have children at an early age….

    Keeping Hawaii in the high ratings for road rage.

    Things like this do not happen as often in a CCW state. An armed society is a polite and civilized society. You are not likely to be yanked out of your car in Texas of Florida over a driving mistake. Only in the liberal, gunless utopia known as Hawaii.

      Hawaii is a CCW state. Just that Police Chief will routinely deny application for license.

      Yep, try that “superman punch” and “moke-action-I-beat-you-up” b.s. in Texas and expect to be thoroughly ventilated for your troubles.

      • On_My_Turf says:

        People might drive faster and more aggressively on the Mainland, but there is far less of that “I beat you up”. General rule there is not to threaten or lay hands on total strangers under any circumstances unless taking some “lead medicine” is desired. I know people from out of state surprised by the belligerence of the locals.
