Police arrested a 23-year-old Ocean View on suspicion of robbery.
Kainoa Kahele-Bishop was taken into custody Thursday morning and taken to the Kona police cellblock while detectives continued investigating.
Bishop’s arrest stems from a report Sunday a 47-year-old Discovery Harbor woman was threatened by a hatchet-wielding woman who allegedly got out of a white Toyota sedan on South Point Road and demanded the older woman surrender her parked purple Corvette.
When the older woman refused, the two women scuffled and the victim was able to take the hatchet away and throw it into the brush on the side of the road. During the scuffle, the victim suffered a bite on the right forearm.
A man then got out of the Toyota and reportedly reached into the victim’s car and removed a bag containing a laptop, a cellphone and a wallet. He then fled in the Toyota after a passerby stopped to intervene. The woman suspect entered the victim’s car and tried unsuccessfully to drive off. She then ran into the bushes.
Police investigation led to the identity of the suspects. The woman, 25-year-old Trinety Crapser of Ocean View, was arrested Monday and charged Tuesday with first-degree robbery, third-degree assault and unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle.
