A Kapahulu man, who was convicted of manslaughter in 1997 after an off-duty police officer he was grappling with fell to his death from the H-1 Freeway airport viaduct, turned himself into police headquarters Sunday as a suspect in an attempted assault case that took place in Kahala about a month ago.

Gabriel Kealoha, 26, was booked at police headquarters Sunday for investigation of attempted second-degree assault and terroristic threatening.

A 34-year-old man told police he was jogging in the bicycle lane on Kealaolu Avenue near Moho Street about 10:30 a.m. Nov. 6 when a man, later identified as Kealoha, intentionally tried to run him over twice with his car.

The jogger told police he believed the incident apparently stemmed from a traffic altercation he had with Kealoha moments earlier .

Attorney Brook Hart accompanied Kealoha when he turned himself in.

Kealoha was 17 when he got into a shoving incident with police Sgt. Arthur Miller in 1996. Miller, whose blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit, died from injuries sustained in the fall.

Kealoha was convicted of manslaughter in the Miller case and was ordered to be confined at a youth detention facility until he turned 19.

He was booked in connection with the new allegations on Sunday and was immediately released from police custody pending further investigation of the new allegations.

Hart said Kealoha has yet to be charged in connection with the alleged incident involving the jogger and that as of yesterday morning, Honolulu police had not conferred with prosecutors to see if there was sufficient evidence to charge Kealoha.

"There were no injuries and no damage to any property of any sort," Hart said.
