Hawaii Island police have located 42-year-old Ronald Patrick Keahonui Kahihikolo, of Ocean View, who has been wanted since July 2021 for three outstanding arrest warrants, as well as for questioning in several other criminal investigations.

At 12:54 p.m. Sunday, Kona Patrol officers responded to a residence in the 78-6800 block of Mamalahoa Highway in Kailua-Kona regarding the location of a stolen motorcycle. Upon arrival, officers located the stolen motorcycle and Kahihikolo, who was subsequently taken into custody.

Personnel from the Area II Criminal Investigation Section continued their investigation into additional criminal investigations that Kahihikolo is suspected to be involved in, including several motor vehicle thefts and an incident involving a discharge of a firearm.

On Monday Kahihikolo was charged with first-degree bail jumping, criminal contempt of court and violation of terms and conditions of release on bail, recognizance, or supervised release.

Kahihikolo’s bail was set at $7,000 and he was released after posting bail.

The other investigations Kahihikolo is suspected of being involved in will be forwarded to, and reviewed by, the county Prosecutor’s Office with charges possibly filed at a later date.
