I heard this call on the scanner, Tom, and can't imagine what else you could have done!
At the same time, cops were at a domestic (in HPP) involving weapons (several callers said the perp was holding a gun and pointing it at people while driving to the residence). Two others were waiting for a tow truck at an accident (car on the road).
It must have been an hour later, and cops reported to dispatch they checked the area, and could not locate the guy.
Nowadays, how can any of us feel comfortable approaching anyone resembling your description. NO WAY! Your actions were beyond the "call of duty", imo.
We need more cops assigned to Puna. Period. Huge district to cover, with lots of "incidents".
Oh, also at the same, time cops were headed to Pohoiki for an assault (fight between two drunken fools.)
