Big Island police seek public’s help in locating fugitive
Hawaii County police alerted the public Wednesday evening that 18-year-old fugitive Kahekili John Krause, considered dangerous and possibly armed, was spotted in Ainaloa.
Krause was charged Wednesday with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening and reckless driving, according to court records.
Krause, of Mountain View, reportedly was involved in a crash at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday in Ainaloa with a stolen Nissan Z.
Police said Krause fled with a female after the crash.
Police issued a wanted bulletin on Jan. 19, saying Krause was wanted for questioning about an incident that same day.
In that case, the driver of a stolen Honda sedan in the Hawaiian Beaches area in Puna allegedly drove toward a police officer who approached him in a marked subsidized patrol vehicle.
