Big Island man charged with multiple offenses including criminal property damage using a gun

Hawaii County detectives charged a 37-year-old Milolii man with multiple offenses in Captain Cook in Kona, including criminal property damage using a gun.

Brian Kahele was arrested 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

On May 31, patrol officers responded to the report of an unknown person damaging two tires of a vehicle. Then later that same day, there were reports of gunshots and the same victim’s vehicle had been shot with a firearm on Old Government Road.

After conferring with prosecutors, Kahele was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree criminal property damage , one count each of first- and second-degree terroristic threatening and first-degree reckless endangering.

Police ask any witnesses to call police at 808-935-3311 or contact Detective Brandon Mansur at 808-326-4646, ext. 301 or at brandon.mansur@hawaiicounty.gov
