On August 25, the Hawai'i Police Department issued a public request seeking assistance locating 36-year-old Joseph Narzisi of Kailua-Kona. Narzisi is wanted on an outstanding Parole Violation warrant and is considered armed and dangerous.

"Narzisi is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, 180 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. He is known to frequent the Kailua-Kona district," the public request read. "Narzisi was involved in two separate traffic collisions where he fled the scenes before officers arrived. He is known to be armed with a firearm and is considered armed and dangerous. "

The Hawai'i Island Police Department made a formal request to the public seeking cooperation in the ongoing efforts to locate Joseph Narzisi, a 36-year-old resident of Kailua-Kona. The police explained that Narzisi is being actively sought due to a parole violation matter that remains unresolved. Authorities emphasized that Narzisi is in possession of a firearm and, as such, is considered armed and dangerous. Given this critical information, police have underlined the importance of treating this situation with caution. The general public has been strongly advised against attempting direct contact with Narzisi.

As per information provided by HPD, Narzisi is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds, characterized by blue eyes and brown hair. Police verified that he is known to be in the Kailua-Kona district on a regular basis. Additionally, there have been reports indicating that Narzisi has been implicated in not one, but two distinct traffic collisions, both instances involving his departure from the scenes prior to the arrival of law enforcement officers.

Anyone who may possess information pertaining to the current location of Joseph Narzisi is strongly encouraged to reach out to Officer Curry McFadden by calling 808-326-4646, extension 253, or via email at Curry.Mcfadden@Hawaiicounty.gov. Alternatively, direct communication with the department's non-emergency number, 808-935-3311, is also welcomed and effective. 

Furthermore, the police department seeks to remind the community that those who actively obstruct the capture of a wanted individual by providing financial assistance, transportation, weapons, disguises, or any other means to evade detection, arrest, prosecution, or conviction could potentially be charged with the crime of hindering prosecution. It's imperative to note that first-degree hindering prosecution is classified as a class C felony, while second-degree hindering prosecution is categorized as a misdemeanor offense. The authorities have put forth this message as a clear and unequivocal stance on the matter.
