Hawai’i Island police arrested 21-year old Keoni Sanderson and his mother, 54-year old Kimberly Sanderson, both of Ocean View.

Keoni was also wanted for several warrants and for questioning in other criminal investigations.

Acting on information that Keoni Sanderson was in a vehicle near Henry Street in Kailua-Kona, police canvassed the area and located it. Officers then conducted a traffic stop where it was determined that the vehicle was being operated by Keoni’s mother, Kimberly Sanderson. As officers approached, they observed a male, later identified as Keoni Sanderson, attempting to conceal himself inside.
 
As officers attempted to take Keoni Sanderson into custody for his outstanding warrants, his mother tried to obstruct officers by attempting to lock the vehicle’s doors. Officers were able to gain access  at which point Keoni’s mother physically prevented them from taking her son into custody.
 
Officers were able to gain control of Kimberly Sanderson and continued their efforts to take Keoni Sanderson into custody. After a brief struggle due to physical aggression, Keoni Sanderson was taken into custody without further incident and transported to the Kealakehe Police Station. Kimberly Sanderson was also taken into custody and transported to the Kealakehe Police Station.

After conferring with the County Prosecutor’s Office, Keoni Sanderson was charged with the following offenses:

  • Six counts of first-degree bail jumping
  • Three counts of violating conditions of release on bail
  • Two counts of first-degree assault against a Law enforcement officer
  • Resisting arrest
  • Contempt of court
  • Possession of an open container within a vehicle.

Kimberly Sanderson was charged with the following offenses:

  • Obstructing a government operation
  • First-degree hindering Prosecution
  • Possession of an open container within a vehicle
  • Driving without a valid driver’s license
  • No motor vehicle insurance

The traffic related offenses stemmed from the officers’ observation of an open container of an intoxicating beverage within the vehicle and Kimberly Sanderson not having a driver’s license and valid motor vehicle insurance.
