He rides a red-and-white dirt bike type motorcycle.
Police arrested Perez last Sept. 20 after an incident on the Hilo Union Elementary School campus. Police said Perez attempted to sexually assault a girl in a campus bathroom, while a school official described the incident as “a stranger on campus” and “not an attempted abduction.” Perez was released pending further investigation and no charges have been filed, to date.
