Kirby S. Imai, 43, was also indicted Thursday for alleged abuse of a family or household member in the case involving a 33-year-old woman.
According to Family Court records, Imai allegedly attacked the woman near the Pana'ewa Equestrian Center on June 7, 2005, striking her with his vehicle and running over her bicycle. He attempted to force the woman into his car, but she refused, according to a police report in the case.
Imai told police at the time he worked as a cook at the Hawai'i Community Correctional Center's Hale Nani facility, but a prison spokeswoman said Imai's last day in that job was June 23, 2006.
