Hawaiʻi Island police have arrested and charged 31-year-old Jordan Kekolonahekuahiwielawemaikealohaa J Botelho, of Papaikou, who was wanted for a warrant of arrest for violation of order and burglary.

On Monday, September 9, 2024, at 4:30 p.m., personnel from the Area I Criminal Investigation Division received a tip from the public of Botelho leaving Honomu Town in a black Toyota 4Runner.  South Hilo patrol officers assisted with stopping the 4Runner in the area of Highway 19 and the Mill Road intersection.  Botelho was a passenger in the vehicle and was arrested without incident. 

On Monday evening, September 9, 2024, at 11:30 p.m., after conferring with the County Prosecutor’s Office, Botelho was charged with:

  • Four counts of violating an order for protection
  • Two counts of first-degree burglary
  • First-degree terroristic threatening
  • Second-degree criminal tampering

Botelho’s bail was set at $9,500.

Botelho made his initial court appearance on afternoon, September 10, 2024; however, remains in custody on an additional pending criminal investigation involving the possession of a firearm. 

Additionally, there are other investigations Botelho is suspected of being involved in that upon completion will be forwarded to the County Prosecutor’s Office with charges possibly filed at a later date.

Hawai’i Island police would like to thank the public for their tips over the last several days that were beneficial in capturing Botelho.

Anyone with information on Botelho’s activities is asked to contact the police department’s non-emergency line at (808) 935-3311.  They may also contact Detective Corina McLellan, of the Area I Juvenile Aid Section, at (808) 961-2276 or via e-mail corina.mclellan@hawaiicounty.gov.
