The rocks were placed at the 5.5-mile marker in the downhill lane of the summit road in the middle of a sharp right corner and created a potential safety hazard, DLNR officials said in a press release.

That is a safety hazard and could have caused a vehicle accident with injury.
Even if they find him, nothing will happen to him. Hawaii injustice system.
Was he making a religious statement by invoking Madame Pele in some way? Maybe it’s for a reason so obscure we’ll never know unless we ask him, and maybe not even then.
Another idiot !!!
They should throw the book at him …
