Driver in Waimea Bay incident indicted for terroristic threatening


Advertiser Staff

A grand jury has indicted a Waikiki man with terroristic threatening and other charges following a traffic incident Dec. 9 at Waimea Bay that prompted police to close Kamehameha Highway for more than four hours.

Daniel Nichols, 24, of a Wai Nani Way address, was charged with first-degree terroristic threatening, reckless driving and resisting an order to stop a vehicle.
Police arrested Nichols after he allegedly was seen driving a silver Audi 62 mph in a 35 mph zone on Joseph P. Leong Highway in Haleiwa.
Officers followed the Audi and tried to block it from exiting Waimea Bay Beach Park. The Audi�s driver gunned the engine and drove at a police officer, forcing the officer to dive out of the way, a police affidavit said.
The Audi hit a pickup truck, a rock wall at the park and a HandiVan on Kamehameha Highway.
Police arrested Nichols after he climbed out of the car, the affidavit said.
