Men threatened with screwdrivers
Police arrested a 31-year-old woman who allegedly threatened two men with screwdrivers during a dispute yesterday in Wai'anae.

A 48-year-old woman accused of ramming a golf cart and injuring her boyfriend at the Navy-Marine Golf Course parking lot was arrested yesterday.

3 arrested in Kailua drug raid
A SWAT team and canine unit raided a Kailua home last night and arrested three people on suspicion of drug offenses.
Police said they searched the home at 104 Kihapai St. and found more than 2 grams of crystal methamphetamine and cash.
They arrested a man, 59, and two women, 34 and 23, on suspicion of third-degree promotion of dangerous drugs and drug paraphernalia charges. The man and younger woman had outstanding traffic warrants, police said. The three have not been charged.
Iranian held on immigration charge
A man charged with falsely claiming U.S. citizenship was ordered detained in Honolulu yesterday. Manoochehr Kavehpisheh, 44, arrived in the United States from his native Iran in 1974 on a student visa, but never became a citizen, prosecutors said.
U.S. Magistrate Barry Kurren made his ruling after a deputy public defender admitted Kavehpisheh has no legal standing in the United States.
Kavehpisheh had said his citizenship papers were in Chicago with his parents.
When he was arrested, federal agents seized materials used to fabricate identification such as international driving permits and a "world passport."
"They can be used as identity documents. They can be used to gain access to a country," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Sorenson. "It looks like he's been selling those commercially."
