Man arrested in extortion, robbery incident

Police arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of multiple offenses the morning after a 37-year-old man told police the younger man broke into his Kalama Valley home and attempted to extort money from him.

The older man said he was asleep but awoke when the younger man punched him in the face and demanded that the two go out side. Once outside, the younger man demanded $200 as payment for "taxes," the older man told police.

He said he ignored the demands, at which point the intruder began to punch and kick him before leaving the area.

The man who filed the complaint told police he recognized the other man because he had worked for the younger man's father and was paid "under the table" in cash every week, after which the younger man collected a weekly payment in the form of a tax. He told police he once paid the younger man $500 as a tax.

Police found the suspect nearby on Kahului Street and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree extortion and second-degree robbery. The man who filed the complaint was treated at the scene by city Emergency Medical Services workers for minor injuries, police said.
