A man pleaded not guilty to all six traffic and criminal violations charges against him last Monday, including allegedly causing a stolen vehicle to catch fire.<\/p>\n
Alii Jima Ichihara, 20, pleaded not guilty to the charges of theft of a vehicle, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding, no operator\u2019s license, reckless driving, and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n
Ichihara was brought before the court last March 18 for an arraignment hearing.<\/p>\n
During the hearing, Ichihara entered his not guilty plea before Superior Court Presiding Judge Robert Naraja.<\/p>\n
Naraja scheduled a case management conference for Ichihara on April 13, 2019, before Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo.<\/p>\n
According to court information, Ichihara was issued a penal summons for multiple crimes he allegedly committed back on Feb. 5, 2019, when he allegedly stole the vehicle of Ashley Marie Taisacan without her consent.<\/p>\n
Ichihara was allegedly caught with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.1-percent or more while under the age of 21.<\/p>\n
Ichihara was also allegedly speeding, caught operating the stolen vehicle without a license, and was operating the stolen vehicle with disregard for the safety of people and surrounding property.<\/p>\n
Lastly, Ichihara, on the same day, allegedly wrecked the vehicle and caused it to catch fire and, in the process, completely destroying it. (Kimberly A. Bautista)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
