Police said Shimizu and a 30-year-old woman were in a car that vice officers with a warrant wanted to search at the intersection of Kahakai Boulevard and Moano Street in Hawaiian Beaches at 7:25 p.m. Thursday.
As officers approached, the driver accelerated toward an officer. Police shot at the car, which was driven away and later found abandoned.
Shimizu was arrested nearby. The second woman was arrested at 10:20 a.m. Friday on suspicion of promoting a dangerous drug and released pending investigation.
She has 11 criminal convictions.
CHILD ENTICEMENT SUSPECT TO APPEAR
A Wahiawa man, being held on $50,000 bail at the main police station cellblock on charges of using the Internet to set up a meeting for sex with two girls, was to appear in District Court today.
Eric Hayato Shiroma, 23, of a Holaniku Place address, was arrested by Ha-wai'i Internet Crimes Against Children task force agents when he show-ed up for the meeting, officers said. Shiroma was charged with electronic enticement of a child and drug counts.
The Department of the Attorney General's Hawai'i High Technology Crime Unit will prosecute the case.
Shiroma was convicted on a drug charge in 2004.
