Big Island police have arrested wanted fugitive Walter Gomes III.

Acting on leads and tips from the community, Kona patrol officers located Gomes in the Captain Cook area Sunday afternoon. The Hawaii Police Department said he was compliant with officers who took him into custody without incident.

Police have been on an island-wide manhunt for Gomes, 41, since March 21, when a woman showed up at Kona Community Hospital with a gunshot wound. They located him early the next day in Kona but said Gomes refused to comply with officers’ verbal commands and drove his vehicle toward police, striking a police vehicle.

Gomes was able to flee despite three officers firing their weapons at him.

Thanks to tips from the community and other leads, police said they located Gomes in North Kohala later in the same day. They said Gomes again refused to surrender forcing them to close roads and evacuate homes in Hawi during their pursuit.

Police said officers fired rounds into Gomes’ vehicle in two locations in Hawi but that Gomes escaped into some dense brush after crashing his vehicle into the side of a police vehicle.
