WAILUKU — A man who was reportedly frustrated when he couldn’t find his vehicle keys was arrested Wednesday afternoon for allegedly setting his van on fire at a gas station in Kihei.
Reynaldo Onnagan, 45, was charged with second-degree arson and habitual property crime.
He had parked his van near the car wash at Kihei Texaco at 1281 S. Kihei Road in a location that was 40 feet from gas pumps, 50 feet from a propane tank and 7 feet from a gas refuel receptacle, Deputy Prosecutor Brant Yoshimoto said during Onnagan’s initial appearance Thursday in Wailuku District Court.
“He was frustrated he couldn’t find his vehicle keys,” and began blaming employees, Yoshimoto said.
