Police use non-lethal means to disarm suspect

By Rod Ohira
Advertiser Staff Writer

Police today used non-lethal means to disarm a 59-year-old man with a knife, who was later arrested on two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening.

Two officers investigating a trespassing complaint at a Leeward O'ahu public storage facility at 8:50 a.m. confronted the man who refused repeated orders to drop a knife he was holding.

Police said the man appeared bent on suicide by having the officers shoot him.
