Police arrest Puna man twice in 2 days
HAWAII COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Gary Simpkins, 22, of Puna.
A 22-year-old Puna man, who was charged with robbery earlier this week, was arrested again Thursday on unrelated charges of violence within 48 hours after he was released from police custody.
Gary Simpkins, of the Hawaiian Beaches subdivision of Puna, was being sought on a robbery charge when he turned himself in to police on Monday. He was charged with the felony Tuesday, and after posting a $5,000 bond later that day, he was released from police custody.
At 8:50 p.m. Thursday, Simpkins was arrested for terroristic threatening, criminal property damage and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle after he allegedly used a bat to smash four windows on a vehicle occupied by a 21-year-old woman and her 3-year-old son in Hawaiian Beaches. He was later charged, and bail was set at $12,000 and he remains in police custody.

Let him out and I bet he’ll be back in custody again. No learn…
scary but all too common for out here
Looks like an upstanding citizen. I’m sure he’s innocent of all of the charges.
I have nothing nice to say, someone might pull the race card, I will keep my finger off the key pad but on the trigger.
Where’s Klastri to defend his/her brother?
This public liability is about as “local” as one barack hussein obama, another public liability. I’m sure the good people of Puna are offended by him being described as a “Puna man”.
just $12,000? Why not $120.000? Throw the key away already! He is a public nuisance!
