HAWAII, Hawaii (KHON2) — Big Island detectives have arrested and charged Kurtistown resident Spencer Kamuela Young Gun Chun, 40, on suspicion of intentionally hitting a pedestrian with his vehicle in the parking lot of a Pahoa shopping center.
The incident occurred on Jan. 25 shortly before 7 p.m. Officers were patrolling the nearby area when they noticed a traffic backup followed by two males engaged in an altercation.
Upon further investigation, officers concluded that a 39-year-old male was crossing the street to enter the shopping center, but Chun’s vehicle was in the man’s way, according to police. That is when the men exchanged gestures.
The 39-year-old continued to cross the street, and Chun allegedly turned his vehicle toward the victim and accelerated, striking the victim and knocking him to the ground.
The victim was transferred to Hilo Benioff Medical Center, where he was treated for minor injuries and later released. The entire incident was captured on surveillance footage and confirmed the investigation’s findings.
Chun was charged with Second-degree assault and Driving without a valid driver’s license on the morning of Jan. 27.

Indeed, that's an unfortunate name.

Spencer Kamuela Young Gun Chun
It makes "Punatang" sound really boring. I may have to go back to the drawing board.

"Spencer Kamuela Young Gun Chun"
"Driving without a valid driver’s license"
I'm wondering if the lack of a driver's license was simply because his name would not fit?
I'm also guessing his daddy was "Old Gun."

Walking right in front of a motorist who you have just antagonized isn't a very bright move. Patience!
Young Gun Chun has a nice ring to it. I would officially drop the other two names preceding.

Well, hopefully, he turns up to his next court date; otherwise, we know what the headlines will be: "Young Gun Chun on the Run."
RE: Young Gun deliberately plows down pedestrian with car in Pahoa - HiloJulie - 02-02-2025
"Young Gun Chun on the Run."
A new song perhaps?
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one
Nice again like you, mama
You, mama
You
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get outta here
(If we ever get outta here)
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
"I hope you're having fun"
Young Gun Chung on the run
Young Gun Chung on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the Young Gun Chung on the run
For the Young Gun Chung on the run (oh, yeah)
The Young Gun Chung on the run
The Young Gun Chung on the run
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run
Young Gun Chung on the run
Young Gun Chung on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the Young Gun Chung on the run
The Young Gun Chung on the run
Yeah, for the Young Gun Chung on the run
For the Young Gun Chung on the run
The Young Gun Chung on the run
For the Young Gun Chung on the run
Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down
In the town they're searching for you everywhere
But you're never gonna be found, no, no
Young Gun Chung on the run
Young Gun Chung on the run
And the county judge
Who held a grudge
Will search forever more
For that Young Gun Chung on the run
For the Young Gun Chung on the run, yeah-yeah
For the Young Gun Chung on the run, yeah-yeah-yeah
The Young Gun Chung on the run, oh yeah
Ooh, hoo-hoo

Chun evidently has more available cash on hand than common sense because it appears he has posted the $21 grand bail money.
It's difficult to imagine a more thoughtless activity for a motorist driving without a license than plowing into a pedestrian with cops in the vicinity.
Maybe chalk it up to being a "Jeep Thing"? It's mentioned that Young Gun was driving a Jeep.
