Hawaii island police are asking for the public’s help finding 38-year-old Teodolfo Pascubillo, who is wanted on assault and terroristic threatening charges.

Police say he is considered to be “armed and dangerous,” and do not recommend approaching him. Instead, call the police department’s nonemergency line at 935-3311 or contact officer Sheldon Nakamoto at 326-4646, ext. 303.
Man snags foot-long venomous centipede
A Hawaii island resident has a centipede that’s more than 1 foot long on display at his home.
Retired taxidermist Clayton Cambra spotted the 14-1/2-inch bug in woods behind his home and decided to capture it with a bucket, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Sunday.
Cambra said the venomous arthropod stood up “like a cobra” when he captured it.
“Standin’ right up. It’s creepy,” Cambra said. “He crawled out of that bucket four or five times before I got him here.”
He got the centipede inside a plastic bag and froze it in his freezer.
Cambra then thawed the centipede, pinned it to a Styrofoam board and injected it with formaldehyde.
“It’s a monster. Even when it was dead, I was nervous touchin’ it,” Cambra said.
