Big Isle man arrested in connection with stolen car, crash
A 21-year-old Volcano man has been charged in connection with a stolen car that crashed in Ainaloa last week.
Big Island police arrested and charged Arnold B. J. Fernandez Friday for unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle involving a stolen Honda sedan that crashed on Jan. 25. He is the second suspect arrested in the case.
Last week, prosecutors arrested Kahekili John Krause in connection with the stolen Honda involved in the single-car crash. Krause was previously charged with terroristic threatening and reckless driving for a Jan. 19 incident.
In addition to auto theft, Fernandez also was charged for second-degree burglary after he broke into a Hilo automobile repair shop on Jan. 26 and stole bananas. Prosecutors charged Fernandez for attempted second-degree burglary for attempting to break into a Mountain View store that same day, according to a Hawaii Police Department news release.
He remains in custody in lieu of $6,000 bail and was to make his initial court appearance today.
