Advertiser Staff
Josh Holloway, a star of ABC's Emmy Award-winning TV series "Lost," and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their Hawai'i Kai home early yesterday morning, KHON-TV reported.
The robber rousted the couple from bed, took cash and credit cards and drove off in Holloway's Mercedes-Benz, which was found abandoned a short time later, the station said.
There was no indication that the robber recognized the 36-year-old actor, who plays hunky con man Sawyer on the castaway drama filmed on O'ahu, KHON said.
The man, who was armed with a handgun, was described as 5 feet 8 with a slim build. He wore a black or gray baseball cap and black or gray shirt.
Police did not release any information on the robbery.
DEAD PEDESTRIAN IS IDENTIFIED
The city Department of the Medical Examiner yesterday identified Melvin Ulep of Pearl City as the pedestrian who was fatally injured Tuesday when he was hit by a car while trying to cross Kamehameha Highway near Neal Blaisdell Park.
Ulep, 31, was in a marked crosswalk and was walking makai near Kaluamoi Place, police said.
A Honolulu-bound 1995 black Buick Riviera driven by a 23-year-old man hit Ulep shortly before 3:30 p.m. Police said he was taken in critical condition to The Queen's Medical Center, where he died.
MAKAHA MAN, 33, IS THREAT SUSPECT
Police have arrested a 33-year-old Makaha man as a suspect in a terroristic-threatening case.
A 24-year-old man told police he got into an argument with the suspect in downtown Honolulu Tuesday morning before he and the suspect went their separate ways.
The younger man told police the suspect approached him sometime before 3:45 p.m., took out a handgun and threatened to shoot him.
Police were called and arrested the older man Tuesday on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening.
