Big Isle police nab Arizona man after alleged robbery attempt
By Star-Bulletin staff
POSTED: 09:51 a.m. HST, Oct 16, 2009
Big Island police have arrested a 56-year-old Arizona man after an alleged attempted robbery in Kailua-Kona.
An 18-year-old woman told police that she was walking by the rock wall of Hale O Kane Park on Ali'i Drive at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday when a man followed her and told her he was going to rob her. He knocked her down and she screamed, which attracted passersby, police said. The suspect fled without taking anything and the woman was not injured.
After an investigation, police arrested a Tucson, Ariz., man at the Kona airport, where he was waiting to catch a flight to the mainland yesterday afternoon. He is being held at the Kona police cellblock pending charges, police said.
Anyone with information should call Detective Myra Iwamoto at 326-4646, extension 281, or the police nonemergency line at 935-3311.
