    Fortunate to have good neighbors who saw this guy breaking into our house on Tuesday. They stopped him from ripping us off and called the police right away to help get him off the street.

    stop with the assumption because they are all blaming the wrong person…no thanks to the honokaa police department, being the man he was he turned him self in …stop sticking your nose in other peoples business and mind your own business

    its it my business, he was in my house and not a guest. I dunno about the other charges, but he admitted to breaking into the house. Yup some man. So its not an assumption, its a fact.

    First of all he Admitted he return the item, Second of all he never got CHARGED, & third of all HE WALKED INTO HILO POLICE STATION & turned himself in… After the fact the HONOKAA Police is out still Searching…He was doing a proper thing by returning the item to the owner, but real criminal is out still running free, while the wrong person is sitting in Jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First of all people work hard for what they have..i heard he was seen coming out of the window .. or is this a different time at somebody else's house. It is a fact that he stole from many people. Dont get mad at the victims of his shopping sprees..what would you have done if it was you that it had happened to..or your kupunas. IS IT OKAY FOR HIM TO DO IT HELL NO! He should go to rehab if drugs made him do it.Maybe you should start sticking your nose into his business and try to help him straighten his act up before he becomes even more of a loser. Stop making lame excuses for him.. Was this his first offense? I doubt it.. HELP HIM PLEASE

    Funny how nobody could positively identify him, too many pieces that don't fit. There were also people who claim they saw the person who did it and it looked nothing like him. All of you were against him before any of this started happening so it was easy to blame. There are a lot of accusations but no actual evidence to prove it. Remember, an APB and a WARRANT is two totally different things, one is for questioning. No one, not even us believe that anyone should get away with a crime of any nature and we were brought up not to judge anyone because of what other say about them, make your own personal judgement. There's a possibility that evidence will show that it wasn't him and someone else may be to blame, how will you feel then? YOU ARE NOT GONNA CARE BECAUSE ALL OF YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE. Fear of the unknown is what cripples people so unless you saw HIM with YOUR own eyes don't believe everything you hear. COURAGE IS ABSOLUTE TRUST IN YOUR OWN ABILITIES, ONLY FEAR CAN KEEP YOU GROUNDED!!!
