He was indicted by an O'ahu grand jury yesterday on 15 counts that included 10 counts of sexual assault, credit card theft, second-degree robbery, unlawful methamphetamine trafficking and two counts of kidnapping.

Big Brothers Big Sisters CEO Dennis Brown said the organization is cooperating with police but declined further comment, citing privacy concerns. Lt. Danny Lopez, head of the Honolulu Police Department's sex crimes detail, and Det. Gregory McCormick, lead investigator at HPD, did not return several calls for comment.

In a written statement filed Wednesday, McCormick said the girl told him she was walking in downtown Honolulu when a delivery van bearing the logo of Big Brothers Big Sisters pulled up and the driver asked for help finding School Street.

In an affidavit filed Wednesday in District Court, Dolly Domingo, a supervisor at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Honolulu, told police that Myklebust had been employed by the company as a driver since Sept. 1. Also in the court document, Domingo states that Myklebust called the company to tell them of his arrest on Tuesday and told them the location of the delivery van.

According to the detective's statement:

The girl got into the van and the driver drove off, telling the girl he was trying to find a bathroom.

The van eventually came to a stop somewhere between Kaimuki and Hawai'i Kai and the driver demanded that the girl hand over her backpack. The girl refused but the driver hit her in the mouth, took the backpack and put it behind the driver's seat.

The driver then told the girl to go in the back of the van, where he pushed her to the floor with her face pressed up against a plastic bag making it difficult for her to breathe.

The girl told police the driver sexually assaulted her in the van, rifled through her backpack, found her bank card and made her tell him her personal identification number. She said the driver left the truck briefly and returned holding an unknown amount of cash.

She told the detective that the driver moved the van to a lot behind a business on Kapi'olani Boulevard near Atkinson Drive, went in there briefly, came back and made her turn around while he injected something into a vein in her right arm, which he later told her was "ice" or crystal methamphetamine.

The girl told police the driver then headed for a boat harbor and after that, to Waikiki, where he made her walk with him to a cash machine where he used her card to withdraw more money. She said the driver took her to a store and used the money to buy a watch before taking her to a bathroom in a Waikiki hotel where he again injected something into her arm.

The driver and the girl were walking on Ka'iulani Avenue when she felt sick and began vomiting, according to the court statement. When the driver left her momentarily, a passer-by noticed the girl and asked if she needed help. She went with that man to his store and called a friend to pick her up.

The girl told police she went to the Sex Abuse Treatment Center at Kapi'olani Medical Center and was examined by an emergency room doctor who confirmed the presence of methamphetamine.

The girl later identified the suspect in a photo lineup.

Patrol officers arrested Myklebust about 5:50 a.m. Tuesday sitting in front of a store on Kuhio Avenue near Nahua Street.

His federal criminal record dates to February 1999, when he was indicted for trespassing and burglary in connection with a house break-in at Hickam Air Force Base in July 1998.

He pleaded guilty in May 1999 and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor to 18 months in federal prison with three years of supervised release to commence once he finished the prison term.

Federal court records show that Myklebust repeatedly tested positive for the use of methamphetamine throughout his supervised released period. In December 2003, Gillmor sentenced Myklebust to an additional 70 days in federal prison for violating the terms of his supervised release.

He began serving the 70-day sentence on Dec. 9, which means he was in federal custody as recently as February of this year.

Bail for Myklebust, who is in custody, was set at $500,000, and a no-contact order was issued.
