LIHUE — In a successful coordinated operation, the Kauai Police Department announced the apprehension of wanted fugitive Isaiah Pongasi-Adric, 26, of Anahola on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers arrested Pongasi-Adric on multiple warrants, including a $50,000 probation revocation and several offenses of Resisting an Order to Stop a Motor Vehicle and Driving Without a Valid License.
His father, Elvin Adric, 49, of Anahola was also apprehended for Hindering Prosecution in the 2nd Degree and for allegedly assisting Pongasi-Adric in evading arrest.
Adric was released on recognizance, which means he was granted release from custody based on his written promise to appear at all scheduled court proceedings.
Pongasi-Adric, however, remains in custody with his bail set at $80,000. He had traffic violations dating back to 2016.
“We appreciate the community’s vigilance and commend our officers for bringing this case to a peaceful resolution,” said Assistant Chief Kalani Ke. “This outcome reflects the strong collaboration between KPD and the community in keeping Kauai safe. It also sends a strong message to anyone who may consider assisting those trying to evade justice.”
The investigation remains ongoing. KPD encourages everyone to report any suspicious activity or illegal behavior by calling CrimeStoppers Kauai at 808-246-8300.
