Possible suspect in 'Lost' case arrested

By Peter Boylan
Advertiser Staff Writer

Police yesterday arrested a wanted burglary and assault suspect in Kaimuki and said he may be connected to last week's home invasion burglary of "Lost" actor Josh Holloway.

Holloway, who plays Sawyer on the show, and his wife were robbed at gunpoint Oct. 12 after a masked man broke into their Hawai'i Kai home at 4 a.m. The man made off with cash, credit cards and Holloway's Mercedes-Benz, which was later recovered.

Officers with the police Crime Reduction Unit, Specialized Services Division and Career Criminal Unit were pursuing the suspect after police learned he was possibly roaming around with a weapon, said police Capt. Frank Fujii.

Officers pulled a car over in Kaimuki on suspicion of reckless driving and arrested the man, along with a 20-year-old man.

"We had reason to believe he's dangerous," Fujii said.

Fujii declined to say what led police to connect the man with the Holloway robbery. The suspect was arrested for investigation of burglary, three domestic-abuse complaints and two outstanding warrants.
