32-year-old Waylan Ha‘aheo Silva and his 59-year-old father, Darrell Mark Silva, were arrested following the execution of a warrant at their Hilo residence.
During the search, police recovered:
- an un-serialized 9MM semi-automatic pistol (ghost gun)
- a .22 caliber Ruger pistol
- a .22 caliber Model 622
- a .22 caliber Savage Arms Model 101
- small amounts of cocaine-related paraphernalia
- ammunition
- anabolic steroids
During a pat-down search upon arrest, a second warrant was served on a container located in Darrell Silva’s pocket that contained 31.08 grams of cocaine in zip-packets typically used for sale/distribution. After conferring with the County Prosecutor’s Office, Waylan Silva was released pending further investigation.
Darrell Silva was charged with the following offenses:
- Manufacturing, purchasing, or obtaining firearm parts to assemble a firearm having no serial number
- Two counts of first-degree promotion of a dangerous drug
- Two counts of third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug
- Fourth-degree promotion of a harmful drug
A bond was posted for Silva’s $110,000 bail. His initial Hilo District Court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, February 13. The search warrant for the un-serialized semiautomatic pistol stems from a January 4 physical domestic that occurred between Waylan Silva and a 26-year-old female who he allegedly struck. The victim obtained a fractured jaw that required her to be transported to Oʻahu for treatment. Waylan Silva was arrested and charged on a warrant for second-degree assault and abuse of a family household member. He was released after posting the $7,000 bail. During his initial Hilo District Court appearance on January 19, the case was transferred to Hilo Circuit Court. Police ask anyone with information on the January 4 assault to contact Detective Corina McLellan at (808) 961-2276 or via email at corina.mclellan@hawaiicounty.gov.
