Hams terrorized Hawaii Island in August when he went on a crime spree that spanned hours and stretched from Hilo to Kona. On Monday Judge Robert D.S. Kim increased bail for the 38-year-old Kailua-Kona man from $1 million to $10 million after prosecutors initially requested bail be revoked, according to a West Hawaii Today report.
