Hawaii Island police have charged wanted fugitive Bryce Dustin Feary following a domestic incident Monday on Monday.

The 34-year-old Feary, who has been on the run since October, was arrested for an outstanding Department of Public Safety warrant of arrest issued by Hawaii Community Correctional Center after he failed to return to the facility from furlough on Oct. 1, 2019.

Feary was located shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday hiding in a clothes dryer at a residence on Kalanianaole Street in Hilo.

In addition to the warrant of arrest, Feary was also arrested for abuse of family or household member, kidnapping, and two counts of second-degree assault. The charges stem from a domestic incident on Monday in which Feary reportedly caused substantial bodily injury to a 25-year-old woman and physically restrained her from leaving the residence.

At 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, Feary was charged with the domestic-related offenses and his bail was set at $72,000. He remains in custody at HCCC and his initial court appearance for the domestic-related charges is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Hilo District Court.
