🚨 ASSAULT – Big Island Kona Man Arrested and Charged with Assault 📍 Location: Hawaiʻi County 📅 Date: July 30, 2026 Hawaiʻi Island police have arrested and charged 44-year-old Matthew Larrua of Kailua-Kona following an assault and resisting arrest incident in Kailua-Kona. At 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Kona patrol officers responded to a report of a disorderly man attempting to provoke a fight at a commercial property in the 75-5000 block of Aliʻi Drive. Upon arrival, officers contacted an adult male victim, who reported that an unfamiliar man had repeatedly shoved him in what appeared to be an unprovoked attempt to start a physical altercation. The suspect remained in the area and was identified by the victim as Larrua. When officers attempted to contact Larrua, he became uncooperative and allegedly charged toward one of the responding officers in an apparent attempt to flee. After a brief struggle, during which Larrua continued to resist officers’ efforts to place him in handcuffs, he was taken into custody without further incident. No officers were injured during the arrest. 📰 Full release: https://www.hawaiipolice.gov/kona-man-arrested-and-charged-with-assault/ 📞 Have info?
