Former Bishop Estate trustee Gerard Jervis was arrested in the Lanikai area of Kailua late Friday night after he allegedly used his car to deliberately smash into the back end of a car carrying four 17-year-old boys.

According to a police description of the accident, the four boys were riding in a car through Lanikai "throwing eggs at random targets."

The four boys are Saint Louis School football players, police said.

"One of the eggs landed in the suspect's yard and the suspect got into his vehicle and began chasing the (boys') vehicle," according to the police narrative.

"During the chase, the suspect intentionally rear-ended the (boys') vehicle causing it to collide into the cable of an electrical pole which propelled the front of the (boys') vehicle into the air risking the lives of the (boys)," the narrative said.

It did not identify him by name, but a police arrest log showed that Jervis was arrested at 11:45 p.m. at the intersection of Aalapapa and Kaelepulu drives in Lanikai on suspicion of first-degree criminal property damage, a felony, and operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant, a petty misdemeanor.

Jervis had a blood alcohol level of .10, police said. The legal limit is .08.

Jervis, 59, listed a home address on Onekea Drive, about five blocks from where he was arrested.

Jervis was one of the five Bishop Estate trustees who were ousted or resigned during a scandal during the late 1990s during which the trustees were accused of mismanaging the multi-billion-dollar trust.

Jervis was taken to the main police station on Beretania Street for booking after his arrest. He could not be reached to comment on the matter.

The 17-year-old boy driving the other car was also arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and two of the boys were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor harassment in connection with the alleged egg-throwing incident.

Police said there were no damages to Jervis' house.
