Man, 49, charged for allegedly attacking spouse with tool
Feb. 27—A 49-year-old man has been charged after he allegedly attacked his wife with a screwdriver in Kalihi.
Jimuel B. Gatioan is scheduled to appear at his arraignment at Circuit Court Thursday on charges of two counts of second-degree assault.
He is in custody at the Oahu Community Correctional Center in lieu of $50,000 aggregate bail.
Second-degree assault is a class C felony that is punishable by up to five years in prison if convicted.

She was taken in serious condition to a hospital.
Police arrested Gatioan about an hour later on Gulick Avenue on suspicion of second-degree assault.
A charging document alleged Gatioan assaulted the victim with a screwdriver. He was charged by felony information Wednesday on two counts of second-degree assault.
