A MAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING AND ROBBERY OF AN OCEAN VIEW BUSINESS ON JULY 20. Hawai’i Island police have arrested and charged 21-year-old Derick Clayson Kaohuikaulunahele Camacho, of Captain Cook, "on the strength of a grand jury indictment warrant stemming from a violent incident which occurred on July 20, 2023, in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates," says the HPD statement released on Thursday.
On Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 23, 2023, Camacho was located at a residence on Hawai’i Boulevard in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates. He was charged in accordance with the indictment warrant, for the following offenses: First-degree Robbery, Second-degree Burglary, Second-degree Theft, Attempted Kaʻū.
Unauthorized Control of a Propelled Vehicle and Two counts of Kidnapping.
Camacho’s bail was set at $250,000.The charges against Camacho stem from an incident reported shortly after 2:30 a.m. on July 20, 2023, when Kaʻū patrol officers responded to an active burglary report at a business in the 92-8000 block of Mamalahoa Highway in Ocean View. While investigating this burglary, officers were alerted to a second active burglary occurring at a nearby retail establishment.
Upon investigating at the second business, officers discovered a masked man, later identified as Camacho, making verbal threats and physically dragging a 61-year-old male victim into the back room of the business. Officers immediately demanded that Camacho release the victim, however he refused to comply with the officers’ orders. An officer then deployed his Conducted Energy Weapon, commonly known as a “taser,” and Camacho was subsequently taken into police custody.
The initial investigation was completed by the Area II Criminal Investigation Section; and on Friday, July 21, 2023, after conferring with the Hawai’i County Prosecutors Office, Camacho was charged with the offenses listed above. His bail at that time was set at $36,000; however, it was later increased to $250,000 by the Honorable Judge upon reviewing and signing the Riverside Affidavit.
Unable to post bail, Camacho remained in police custody over the weekend. On Monday, July 24, 2023, he made his initial court appearance in Kona District Court, where at the objection of the assigned deputy prosecuting attorney, the presiding judge granted Camacho supervised release.
On Aug. 1, a Kona grand jury was convened and the $250,000 indictment warrant was issued.
Camacho remained at-large until police located and arrested him on Wednesday.
Teen night is the first Saturday of each month from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
