Son arrested after allegedly setting family’s Makaha home on fire
Honolulu police arrested a 33-year-old man after he allegedly set fire to a home in Makaha with his sleeping family members inside.
Twelve units with 35 firefighters responded to a 911 call of a structure fire at 84-1001 Lahaina St., Unit 1, at about 1:30 a.m. Friday. Upon arrival, crews saw heavy flames emanating from the ground floor of a two-story residence, the Honolulu Fire Department said.
Police said a man set the house on fire, then went to a neighbor’s home where he broke a window and “punched an elderly man in the face.”
