Longshot Congressional Candidate Pulled Gun On Maui County Workers
"An armed man entered a Maui County government building Friday morning and brandished his gun during an argument with county workers, but police were not called for an hour and a half.
Kirill Basin, who had recently announced he planned to run for Congress, was arrested at around 12:30, miles away in Kīhei — where he lives — for Terroristic Threatening in the First Degree.
A spokesperson for the county did not respond to a question about what occurred between the time Basin arrived and when police were called. Chief John Pelletier responded only with a written statement.
“The Maui Police Department will not compromise public safety, and incidents of this nature are taken extremely seriously in Maui County,” Pelletier wrote. “I am extremely proud of the quick response and professionalism displayed by our personnel, which helped ensure a peaceful resolution.”"
