A 33-year-old Air Force sergeant appeared in Honolulu District Court Tuesday on two counts of attempted second-degree murder and weapons charges in connection with an early morning shooting Saturday outside a Pearl City strip club.
Air Force Tech Sgt. Claude Custard of Ewa Beach is accused of shooting at two 24-year-old men Saturday morning. He turned himself in at the main police station at 8:40 p.m. Saturday.
Police said Custard had an argument with one of the men in the Princess Palace strip club at the Pearl City Business Plaza and that the fracas continued in the back parking lot at 803 Kamehameha Highway shortly after 2 a.m.
Custard allegedly fired a handgun as one of the two men drove off, striking one man multiple times and critically injuring him, then fired at and missed a second man before fleeing, police said.
Custard, an electrician with the 647th Civil Engineer Squadron at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, was being held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
