Prosecutors have charged a 38-year-old man after he allegedly stole a police subsidized vehicle and led officers on an islandwide chase on Oahu.

Jaya K. Titcomb made his initial court appearance before Judge Lono Lee at District Court in Honolulu on Thursday after he was charged Wednesday with first- degree assault of a law enforcement officer, auto theft, first- degree terroristic threatening and first-degree resisting an order to stop a motor vehicle.

Titcomb, wearing an arm sling due to gunshot injuries to his left shoulder, did not speak during his court appearance. He is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Shortly after 6:15 a.m. Monday, police responded to a report of a suspicious Toyota Celica with a man slumped over the steering wheel on 10th Avenue, mauka of Maunaloa Avenue in Kaimuki, according to court documents.

Police woke up the man, who was later identified as Titcomb, and ordered him to step out of the vehicle after they discovered it was a stolen car.

While sitting on a rock wall, Titcomb requested to use the bathroom and said he could get a beverage container in the Celica and relieve himself in the container.

After police allowed him, Titcomb walked toward the vehicle and appeared to be emptying liquid from the container on the roadway.

At some point he dropped the container and jumped into the driver’s seat of a dark blue Toyota 4Runner from an unlocked driver’s door. He then accelerated and drove toward an officer, prosecutors said.

Police said the officer attempted to move away from the vehicle when the front left fender and driver’s-side mirror struck the officer, “causing him to be thrown ten feet backwards to the ground.” When the vehicle accelerated toward him, the officer fired a single round at Titcomb through an open window on the driver’s side.

Titcomb fled Kaimuki, prompting police to issue an all-points bulletin on the SUV and Titcomb.

Just after 7 a.m. police received a report of a crash involving a 4Runner and a Love’s Bakery delivery truck on South Beretania Street near Foodland Beretania in Makiki.

Police dispatchers also received multiple reports of sightings of the 4Runner islandwide as the vehicle was traveling at “high rates of speed and weaving in and out of traffic.”

Titcomb led police on a chase before he ditched the vehicle in Waiahole and fled on foot.

Police launched a manhunt and scoured the valley to no avail.

The next morning, police arrested Titcomb near a bridge on Waiahole Valley Road after a resident saw him and called 911. Emergency Medical Services treated and transported Titcomb in serious condition to a hospital for gunshot injuries to his left shoulder.

He has a criminal record of one felony conviction of promotion of a dangerous drug and two petty misdemeanor convictions of theft and driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

Court records indicate Titcomb was scheduled to appear in court on the morning he allegedly drove off in the police officer’s SUV. The court date was for an Aug. 8 citation for driving without a valid license.

Records also show Titcomb is scheduled to be sentenced in September for separate felony burglary and auto theft charges after he allegedly burglarized a home in Kailua and stole a vehicle in March.
