A man who allegedly threatened to shoot another person with a spear gun threw rocks at responding police officers in Chalan Kanoa early Saturday morning, resulting in his arrest.
Deigo Pangelinan Kaipat, 41, was taken to the Superior Court yesterday for a bail hearing. He was detained for assault and battery, obstruction of justice, and resisting arrest.
Associate Judge David A. Wiseman imposed a $1,500 cash bail for Kaipat’s temporary liberty. Preliminary hearing was set for Dec. 15, 2008 at 9am.
Detective Katherine Manglona stated in her report that police officers responded to the beach area in Chalan Kanoa after receiving a call about a disturbance that possibly involved a gun.
A man met the responding officers and pointed in the direction of a house where a man who allegedly tried to shoot him with a spear gun had gone in.
The officers identified the suspect as Kaipat, who had entered the bathroom and locked it.
Kaipat was later seen outside the house shouting that he was going to kill someone, then himself. When the officers approached, the suspect ran off. As they approached him again, he offered an arm to a police officer to be handcuffed. As the officer was about to cuff him, Kaipat pushed the officer and ran away.
The suspect then picked up a rock and threw it toward the officers, forcing them to seek cover.
One officer managed to get hold of Kaipat, who struggled. The defendant was then subdued to the ground, but he continued to resist arrest. Another officer sprayed pepper mace on Kaipat and that was the only time he was secured with the handcuffs.
Police said Kaipat has prior history of resisting police’s arrest.
