Waianae man charged with threatening to kill Hawaii members of Congress
Source: Hawai'i News Now
Federal agents say a former Waianae man was threatening to kill Honolulu Congresswomen, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Mazie Hirono, and shoot at people at the Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole federal building.
Keahiokahonua Stewart, 36, is from Waianae, but now lives in Tennessee. He was arrested in that state Friday morning by the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police. Within hours of his arrest, Honolulu federal agents were at the home of Stewart's parents on Leihoku Street. According to Matthew McDonald of the Honolulu FBI office, they were executing a search warrant, assisting the mainland authorities.
Federal court documents say Stewart was sending emails and posting threatening messages on social media. The complaint says Stewart started contacting various government officials years ago, because he thought his social security number was being used by someone else, another soldier, and that was making it difficult for him to get his veteran's benefits.
Only Hawaii News Now was there as the FBI and ATF searched the family home where Stewart reportedly posted that gun silencers were being stored. The court documents also say, a Walther PPX pistol, was sent to the address. And in a separate post, the complaint says Stewart posts, "My other baby going to Waianae!" referring to a disassembled A-R 15 rifle.
