A 20-year-old Kailua-Kona man who already faces a manslaughter charge for a fatal collision in 2022 was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to Hawaii Police Department spokeswoman Denise Laitinen, Trevor Shoemaker-Hassey was taken into custody at 11:08 p.m. Wednesday on Queen Kaahuanu Highway just north of Nani Kailua Drive. Shoemaker-Hassey also was booked on suspicion of driving with a suspended license and without insurance. 'The officer observed the vehicle directly in front of him veer to the west toward the outer shoulder, crossing the solid white line with both the front and rear passenger tire until the line was in the middle of the vehicle,' Laitinen said.
