Grand jury indicts suspect who led authorities on intense manhunt on Hawaii Island

A grand jury has indicted the suspect who instigated an intense manhunt on the island of Hawaii, officials announced on Tuesday.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, is accused of leading police on a chase that lasted several weeks and involved multiple law enforcement agencies, according to the Hawaii County Prosecutor’s Office.

The charges come after a long and arduous manhunt that began in late April and spanned over a large area of the island. During the search, multiple police departments were involved in trying to apprehend the suspect.

The search culminated in a dramatic standoff near the city of Hilo, with the suspect finally apprehended after several hours. Authorities have credited the successful apprehension to the collaboration between the various law enforcement entities involved.

The grand jury’s indictment includes a litany of charges, including fleeing from a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, and a variety of other offenses. If convicted, the suspect faces up to twenty years in prison.

The prosecutor’s office has refused to comment on the case, citing the need to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation.
