Man allegedly crashes into police car
A 23-year-old Haleiwa man was in custody Saturday for investigation of first-degree attempted murder after he intentionally crashed a vehicle into a police car, police said.
The man was arrested at about 12:30 a.m. Friday on suspicion of first-degree attempted murder, abuse of a family or household member, driving under the influence of an intoxicant, driving without a license, failure to obey a police officer in relation to traffic laws, and resisting arrest. He was arrested on Kamehameha Highway in Haleiwa.
Police said officers were sent to a domestic argument and were told by a 34-year-old woman that the suspect fled in his vehicle with her children sleeping inside it. Patrol officers located the man nearby, and when they tried to stop him, the man intentionally hit a police car with his vehicle, police said.
Police arrested the man and no injuries were reported. The first-degree murder investigation stems from the man’s alleged action toward a police officer. Further details were not available.
