James Pietragallo

Then on January 9th, 2014, at 7.30 in the morning, police find him finally.

They've been looking for him since the warrant and since the traffic stop here.

They locate him at a residence on Luau Drive in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates.

Sounds beautiful, but it's not.

It's shit.

It's not great.

It's called a sprawling subdivision of cheap lots on a sloping lava flow at the south end of the island.

Oh, yeah.

Basically, it's there's a lot of like, you know, generators and this isn't a great place, but he's arrested there and on a two hundred thousand dollar grand jury bench warrant for second degree assault, which is that's the point of the gun.

So he's hauled in and they hold him there for a minute.

Now, so he's still in jail.

The next day, January 10th, 2014, this is 5.15 in the afternoon, they charge him with 23 additional offenses.

That's a lot.

Based on their investigation.

Methamphetamine trafficking.

Eight counts of promoting dangerous drugs, promoting controlled substances near a school.

Uh-oh.

Three counts of promoting detrimental drugs, three counts of possessing drug paraphernalia, six firearm offenses, terroristic threatening, plus second-degree assault, which was the original thing.

So it's 24 charges.

Bail is set at $266,000.
