Attack on officer leads to arrestPolice arrested a 20-year-old man today on suspicion of driving his car at a Honolulu Airport security officer during a dispute over illegal parking at the interisland terminal.
The man was arrested for first-degree assault and first-degree terroristic threatening.
Police said the dispute started at 5:55 a.m. when a security officer advised the man that he was illegally parked and ordered him to move his car from the curbside. The man refused and the security officer called for her supervisor.
The supervisor was on the passenger-side of the car writing out a citation and the man had to be restrained from going after her, police said. The suspect then allegedly drove his car toward the other officer, who was standing at the front of the vehicle.
Suspect in Kahea killing transferred
A 20-year-old man charged with killing 11-year-old Kahealani Indreginal was transferred about three weeks ago from a medical suicide watch unit to a protective custody module, said Oahu Community Correctional Center warden Clayton Frank.
Christopher Aki is in a housing unit that is accessible only to a watch commander, watch lieutenant and only employees authorized by the warden, said Frank. Including Aki, there are a total of six inmates in the protective custody unit.
Frank said the move was made after an assessment by physicians and psychologists determined that Aki did not have to be held in the mental health unit.
