POLICE BEAT
Pig killers remain at large

Advertiser Staff

Honolulu police are asking for the public's help in identifying two men who allegedly stole two pet pigs from a pasture off Hamakua Drive in Kailua about 6:30 p.m. Dec. 19.

Police said the suspects parked an early 1990s black Ford pickup with brown primer spots in the parking lot behind 202 Hamakua Drive. Two men were seen walking into the pasture area and killing two, 9-month-old, 90-pound pigs. The men then carried the carcasses back to the truck and left the area, police said. Witnesses called the owner who immediately went to the scene.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call detective Roxanne Faulkner directly at 261-6106. Anonymous calls may be made to CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.



Sexual assault charge filed

Police have arrested and charged a 28-year-old man in connection with a sexual assault reported last week by a 19-year-old Honolulu woman.

The woman told police her roommate had gone to a party and invited the man to come home with her. She said she awoke to find the man assaulting her, told him to leave the residence and then went to the Sex Abuse treatment Center.

Police located the man on Monday at a Waikiki hotel and charged him yesterday with second- and fourth-degree sexual assault.

Bail for Jarrod Leon Miller was set at $25,000.



Wife's complaints lead to husband's arrest

A 29-year-old Kalihi man was arrested yesterday after his wife told police her husband had beaten and threatened her continuously since Sunday.

The woman told police the husband constantly yelled at her and demanded that she submit to his demands and that he poked her with a screwdriver and scratched her with a knife if he believed she was responding too slowly.

A neighbor who heard the husband's yelling reported the incident, police said. Officers arrived at the home and stopped the husband who was preparing to drive away.

They arrested him on suspicion of second-degree assault, first-degree terroristic threatening, third-degree promotion of detrimental drugs, third-degree possession of dangerous drugs and an outstanding contempt of court warrant.



Gambling debt alleged in burglary, assault

Police yesterday arrested two brothers, ages 23 and 31, after they allegedly broke into the home of a 25-year-old Mililani man and demanded that he pay a gambling debt. The man whose home was burglarized told police he knows the two men and that one of them hit him over the head with a metal baton while demanding payment of the debt.

The victim said the two men left his home when he called 911. The two suspects were located and arrested for suspicion of first-degree burglary and second-degree assault.
