Hawaii defensive lineman arrested for second time in two weeks

Hawaii defensive lineman Kennedy Tulimasealii was arrested two weeks ago on two counts of domestic abuse and contempt, plus resisting arrest and harassment. And, boy, did he ever resist, reportedly fighting with officers -- eventually necessitating the use of pepper spray -- after being found by police naked in his apartment.

Earlier this week, Tulimasealii decided to double down on his legal predicament.

As reported by KHON2-TV in Honolulu, Tulimasealii was arrested Monday night for criminal property damage. Tulimasealii and his girlfriend were parked outside a Hawaii dormitory when an argument arose, when Tulimasealii allegedly began punching the car’s radio and navigation system, damage totaling more than $1,500.

Tulimasealii was released on $20,000 bail and is due in court on Thursday. He remains suspended from the Rainbow Warriors’ football team. He collected a team-leading 18.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2015.
