Hawaii County police are looking for a 33-year-old Mountain View man, described as “extremely dangerous,” in connection with abuse, assault and terroristic threatening cases.

Police said Ronald Joseph Kong fled on foot into thick forest near Mountain View on Tuesday after he was stopped by officers while driving a stolen pickup truck at about 3:30 p.m. near Kukui Camp Road.

Officers arrested a 31-year-old woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle, but later released her without charges.

Kong is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is known to frequent the Puna District.

Police said Kong is a suspect in additional cases that came to light following the execution of search warrants on a stolen vehicle and a backpack.

Kong is wanted on suspicion of abuse of a household member, second-degree assault, first-degree unlawful imprisonment and first-degree terroristic threatening cases in which he allegedly assaulted and threatened a 31-year-old female companion in a dispute in Puna on Jan. 4.

Police said Kong is considered extremely dangerous and may be armed.

Anyone who spots Kong or knows his whereabouts is advised to immediately notify police rather than approaching or contacting him. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can also call the islandwide Crime- Stoppers number, 961-8300.
