A 55-year-old Waianae man was arrested yesterday for allegedly threatening to harm a 50-year old woman if she did not drop an abuse case against him.

Police said the man was arrested on suspicion of abuse of a household member in July. The woman told police that on Aug. 25 and at several other times, the man threatened to harm her if she followed through with the abuse case.
The woman reported another abuse incident yesterday, and this time the man was arrested in connection with a new abuse case and on suspicion of intimidating a witness as well.
