A Puna man was charged with two felonies in connection with a Sunday afternoon break-in in Volcano.
In response to a 4:12 p.m. call Sunday, police determined that an unknown man had entered a home on the 11-3800 block of 7th Avenue and threatened a 25-year-old woman with a pipe. The woman was able to escape to a neighbor’s house and call the police. Responding officers arrested 19-year-old Nicholas Soares of Mountain View at the scene and recovered two items belonging to the victim from his person.
Soares was taken to the Hilo Police cellblock while police continued the investigation. After conferring with prosecutors, police on Monday charged Soares with first-degree burglary and first-degree terroristic threatening. His bail was set at $7,000 and his initial court appearance was Tuesday.
