Long-time girlfriend Donna Borengasser lovingly shows off a photo of Padayao. That's my sweetheart. The kids from Kahaluu Elementary have already sent letters because he, anybody that knows him, he loves. Late Monday night, Padayao was helping ensure public safety after a two-car collision on Kamehameha Highway near Kualoa Ranch. We lost another hero.
Police say it was a hit and run.
Borengasser can't understand how anyone could do such a thing. In one short stroke, he's hurt so many individuals, not only his immediate family but also the entire police department because that's what they do, they go out and protect us. The 18-year HPD veteran was rushed to Castle Medical Center where he later died while officers pursued his alleged killer. Minutes after the hit and run, police arrested Coulter in front of 48-437 Kamehameha Highway, the address of registered owner of the truck. Police say items found inside that truck indicate Coulter had been drinking.
