Woman charged with trying to rob Kapahulu restaurant
A 45-year-old woman was charged Tuesday with trying to rob a Kapahulu restaurant owner Sunday night.
Barbara Briscoe, who has no local address, was charged with second-degree robbery. Her bail was set at $11,000.
Police said Briscoe entered the restaurant just before 8:30 p.m. and demanded money. When the 33-year-old victim refused, Briscoe struggled with him, but fled empty-handed.
Briscoe was arrested a few hours later at the Queen’s Medical Center where she was taken for an mental health evaluation.

Uh, SA, like where did this occur??
It’s exhausting trying to get news out of ’em sometimes, isn’t it?
(From the Winston News service): My guess is the Popeyes chicken place on Kapahulu ave. We saw a woman go bonkers there about that time Sunday night—-screaming, tried to break the glass door by slamming it against a wall repeatedly and appearing to assault customers before being run out of the place, then pacing back and forth on the sidewalk while muttering to herself about how stupid democrats are for nominating a corrupt incompetent like Clinton. (Made that last part up, but, hey, it’s the internet. Happens all the time.)
If she actually said that, and I heard it, I’d buy her a 5 piece meal with an extra corn!
Perhaps the owner requested to keep the restaurant name out of the paper for confidentiality. Not everyone wants to be famous or have a moment in the spotlight.
You’re probably right. If the name of the establishment became known, it may become a target for retaliation.
You are right, but we have to ask ourselves, without any facts is it really news? May as well just put a headline and leave it at that
Retaliation from homeless people like taking a dump or urinating at their front door. Maybe camping out in their parking. Aye-sous these buggahs!!!
A male robber may have had different results.
Scary?…..well?
The owner should have pepper sprayed her….give her something to remember him by…..
Let’s not condemn the all homeless. This person may have been more of a vagrant who required some help but is left on the street to be a potential threat to the Community. So who’s to be held accountable. Unfortunately this will end up like many of our other arrests…”catch and release”.
Yup, she checked her self in to Queens, probably Kekela, incompetent to stand trial. Public defender taught them well.
This Just might be the latest trend for the residentially challenged…ROBBERY…..If committed the act they will get 3 squares, roof over their heads, medical care, warm bed, running water and love form their cellmate.
nope, prison has too many already, so does Kaneohe Mental Hospital. You right she might want in bit State does not want them.
Just reading recently on the internet where a guy held up a place and then went out and sat out front for the police to come and arrest him; hmmm?, sounds like he needed a place to stay with a roof over his head and free meals.
