Police arrest records show he was pulled over near 41-1540 Kalaniana'ole Highway about 9:45 p.m. and arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicating substance.
Police said Kahoano was involved in a minor vehicle collision on Oneawa Street in Kailua and fled the scene. An all-points bulletin was issued and he was pulled over in Waimanalo.
Kahoano was taken to the Kailua Police Substation, where he failed a Breathalizer test, which recorded his blood alcohol concentration at more than 0.2, police said. Under Hawai'i law, a driver is deemed to be intoxicated if his or her blood alcohol concentration is .08 or more.
He was also arrested on suspicion of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle collision resulting in injury or damage.
Kahoano, who listed a home address on Dominis Street in Makiki, posted $500 bail on his own behalf and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 29 at Kane'ohe District Court. He could not be reached to comment on his arrest.
