LIHU‘E – A local mixed martial arts fighter was arrested early Friday morning on multiple charges and is being held in Police Cellblock in lieu of $147,000 bail, a county news release said today.
LeBeau Lagmay, 26, of Kapa‘a was arrested and charged with 14 counts of first degree terroristic threatening, resisting an order to stop a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant, and open container.
Police officers saw Lagmay “burning rubber” as he was exiting the Lihu'e 7-11 store at around 3:30 a.m. The officers attempted to stop Lagmay, but he continued heading northbound leading police on a pursuit, the release says.
After entering the Wilcox Hospital parking lot, Lagmay finally stopped. Police then ordered Lagmay to get out of his vehicle. After Lagmay exited his vehicle, the officers attempted to arrest him using repeated verbal commands, but Lagmay allegedly resisted and threatened the officers, the release says.
Ultimately, the officers used a taser to subdue Lagmay, and then arrested him.
