A county news release reports that Kauai Police Department’s Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team arrested wanted fugitive Isaac Josiah shortly before 11 a.m. at his home on Crossley Road.
Police located Josiah, 30, at his residence and as they approached the suspect a struggle ensued, according to police dispatch. Josiah was apprehended but medics were called to check his condition after a Taser was used.
Josiah was convicted of felony gun and drug charges in April 2012. He was wanted on a no-bail warrant.
