A Hilo man is being held on a terroristic threatening charge in connection with a confrontation Thursday (May 14) in Hilo.

At 8:12 a.m. Thursday, South Hilo Patrol officers responded to a report that a man had brandished a knife and firearm during a verbal argument and threatened a 42-year-old Hilo man and a 62-year old Hilo woman at the intersection of Ponahawai Street and Kilauea Avenue.

A few minutes later, police located the suspect, 20-year-old Paiea Young, at his Haili Street apartment. He was arrested and taken to the Hilo police cellblock while detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigations Section continued the investigation.

Detectives served a search warrant on Young’s apartment and recovered a bb gun and a knife matching the description of the one used in the confrontation. At 3:30 p.m. Friday, Young was charged with first-degree terroristic threatening. His bail was set at $5,000.

He remains at the cellblock pending his initial court appearance scheduled for Monday (May 18).

    Don’t believe all you read. Police have been reported to by local residents , in the Tiki Gardens subdivision, ad vomitum, about drug dealer suspects on Silversword, and Paradise ct. They refuse to even investigate, and one resident says they cover for these parasites. Your taxes at work.
    Every time a tragedy occurs, consider yourself guilty for not applying pressure to local and federal gov. Meanwhile. Homes will continue to be burglarized, children will be addicted, and more tragedies will occur. Focus for a moment, jot these details, and realize where the problem is.
