Hawaii Island police have charged 28-year-old Scott Conol-Pavao with an array of offenses stemming from a break-in which occurred on April 7.

Police responded to a report of a man that broke into a church and, when confronted, left the area on a motorcycle.

Responding officers found the suspect on the motorcycle and stopped him. During the investigation, Conol-Pavao was found to have a bench warrant, and the investigation into the break-in led to him being identified as the person who broke into the church.

A search warrant was also executed on a backpack that he had in his possession and police recovered drugs and associated paraphernalia.

Conol-Pavao is currently being held on $14,000 bail pending a court appearance tomorrow.
