Hawai’i Island police arrested and charged 20-year-old Jeranimo Talley with domestic related offenses following a recent incident in Hilo.
After conferring with County Prosecutors, detectives charged Talley with the following offenses:
- first degree assault
- two counts of abuse family household member
- first degree unlawful imprisonment
- second degree terroristic threatening
- third degree criminal property damage
Talley was also arrested on two outstanding warrants for violating conditions of release while on bail. His total bail for all offenses was set at $42,000.
The latest charges against Talley stem from a May 25 incident where responding patrol officers determined that a physical domestic occurred between Talley and his girlfriend at their Hilo apartment. During the incident, Talley reportedly locked their bedroom door and began to kick and punch her with a closed fist. He also reportedly threatened to kill his girlfriend and damaged her cellphone during the incident.
The victim was transported to Hilo Medical Center in stable condition where it was determined that she sustained substantial injuries to her mouth resulting in potential permanent disfigurement. She was treated and released the same day.
Talley’s initial Hilo District Court appearance is scheduled for today.
Police ask anyone who may have witnessed this incident to contact Detective Clarence Acob of the Area I Juvenile Aid Section, at (808) 961-8839, or via email at clarence.acob@hawaiicounty.gov.
