A confrontation at a construction site in Kailua-Kona in November has led to charges against a Kona man.
The Hawai’i Police Department responded to a 9:07 a.m. call on Nov. 2 where they learned that a worker, identified as 23-year-old Cody Lewis Allen of Kailua-Kona, had gotten into a confrontation with another worker at the site.
Allen reportedly fired an air-powered nail gun in the direction of a 59-year-old man, putting other construction workers in danger.
Following the firing of the nail gun, police say it was reported that he threatened the 59-year-old man with a post, threatened a 34-year-old man with a collapsible baton, and slashed the tires of a company truck before driving away from the scene.
