The investigation stems from a domestic incident that occurred shortly after 10 a.m. on May 2 in Pāhoa.
Puna patrol officers responded to a residence on Ohiki Street after a 43-year-old man reported being stabbed with a hunting type knife by Ogata-Staudinger. The man was treated at the Hilo Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries and released on May 4.
Ogata-Staudinger is considered armed and dangerous. Police advise the public to not contact her and instead call the police department’s non-emergency number at 808-935-3311.
