He’ll be out in a jiffy.
True but Kauai is attracting drifters like this as law enforcement is lax or nonexistent.
If ” law enforcement is lax or nonexistent” they wouldn’t have caught this person. Great work, KPD.
You know law enforcement is “lax or nonexistent” on Kauai…how?
Is it that you’ve simply excaped detection all this time?
Poor Allie, no respect.
Kauai Police are the best.
Thank you Chief Perry and all the good men and women of your dept!!
Can you imagine being a Kauai cop and ordered to arrest this guy? Reminds me of the OK Corral. Wyatt Earp was a true hero. So are the unnamed cops who will remain anonymous. Shaka to all of you Braddahs!
MAC-11 is an Uzi machine gun pistol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo2GFf7exHA
Needs to be charge under Federal Terrorism laws and jailed for 50 years. Need to find out where he got this dangerous thing.
He probably stole it. Hope he wasn’t the registered owner!!
This is truly serious stuff. Here is where the anti-gun folks should be making a lot of noise to get this nut case imprisoned forever. The possession of an illegal firearm of that type and the associated drug charges should be prosecuted to full extent.
