A 47-year-old Pahoa woman was arrested early Sunday morning after allegedly driving into an Office of Mauna Kea Management ranger’s vehicle.
According to the state Attorney General’s Office, Cynthia Marlin drove up to a ranger and two sheriff’s deputies manning a roadblock on the Mauna Kea Access Road at 2:30 a.m. and demanded to be let through.
“She then advanced her car into the OMKM ranger’s vehicle, causing minor damage,” the office said. No one was injured.
Marlin was arrested by a sheriff’s deputy and booked on charges of obstructing and property damage.
She was released at 9 a.m. Sunday after posting $500 bail.
Marlin was a Libertarian Party candidate for lieutenant governor last year.
