MEDIA RELEASE
A 21-year-old man already in jail facing burglary and theft charges has been charged with another burglary. The latest charge stems from a reported burglary August 31. On that date, neighbors reported that they saw an unknown man arriving at and exiting a home on Andrade Road in Pepeʻekeo while the owners were away. When they confronted the suspect, he ran away.
Detectives arrested Taira on Wednesday (September 10) at Hawaiʻi Community Correctional Center and took him to the Hilo Police cellblock, where they processed him and charged him with first-degree burglary for the August 31 break-in. His bail on that offense was set at $5,000.
He was returned to the jail pending his initial court appearance for the latest charge on Thursday (September 11).

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Update for Saturday, August 31, 2014
June 27th Lava Flow Observations: The June 27th lava flow remains active, with continued advancement of the flow front towards the northeast. The farthest portion of the June 27th flow is issuing from a ground crack and advancing through thick forest, creating small brush fires.
A Civil Defense overflight this morning found surface flows around the flow front remain active, with slow advancement of the flow towards the northeast over the past two days. They mapped the flow front position at 12.5 km (7.8 miles) from the vent and approximately 2 km (1.2 miles) from the eastern boundary of the Wao Kele o Puna Forest Reserve.
Small breakouts also remain active closer to Puʻu ʻŌʻō, roughly midway along the length of the June 27th flow. None of these breakouts were very vigorous when observed Friday, though some are creeping into forest and producing smoke plumes.
Puʻu ʻŌʻō Observations: There were minor fluctuations in tilt at Puʻu ʻŌʻō over the past day, with a minor offset due to a small nearby earthquake yesterday afternoon. Glow was visible overnight above several outgassing openings in the crater floor. The glow above the northeast pit was from a small lava pond, which has persisted since June 27 but is only observable during overflights. The most recent sulfur-dioxide emission-rate measurement for the East Rift Zone was 300 tonnes per day (from all sources) on August 26, 2014.

Hawaii County Civil Defense Eruption Update for August 31, 2014
Police shoot man driving car in Panaewa area Monday (July 21)
MEDIA RELEASE
Hawaiʻi Island police are investigating a non-fatal officer-involved shooting in Hilo on Monday.
Shortly before 11:30 a.m., South Hilo Patrol officers responded to a report of a domestic incident in a pink sports-utility vehicle in the Panaʻewa area.
The officers located the SUV. When they attempted to contact the operator, it fled. Officers followed it to Stainback Highway, where it turned around on a side road and drove recklessly toward two officers. In response, three shots were fired toward the SUV, which continued down Stainback Highway. It then stopped a short distance later and the suspect fled into the bushes.
It was determined that no one else was in the vehicle at that time.
The suspect was located a short time later. He was identified as 38-year-old Riley Asuncion of Pāhoa, arrested on suspicion of terroristic threatening and taken to Hilo Medical Center, where he remains in stable condition with a non-lethal injury to his torso.
Investigation determined that the 30-year old female victim of the reported domestic incident had exited the SUV before officers began following it. She was later located in Hilo.
As is standard practice in any police involved shooting, the Police Department’s Area I Criminal Investigations Section will conduct a criminal investigation into the shooting and the Office of Professional Standards will conduct an administrative investigation.
