A serial SoCal road rage driver was released from prison early. He was just arrested again in Hawaii
In 2023, a Southern California man pleaded guilty to multiple charges stemming from road rage incidents in the Los Angeles area. He was sentenced to five years in prison — but was released 212 days early for good behavior last fall.
On Thursday, he was arrested on suspicion of committing similar crimes.
According to the Honolulu Police Department, a 38-year-old man was arrested in Hawaii on suspicion of unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle in the first degree and assault.
On Wednesday, an 18-year-old woman was parking a vehicle with her mother in the passenger seat when she observed a gray Tesla speed past her. Words were then exchanged, and the man allegedly assaulted both women before fleeing in the Tesla.
According to HPD's arrest logs, that man was Nathaniel Radimak.
In January 2023, Radimak was spotted getting out of a Tesla on the 2 Freeway before attacking victims with a metal pipe. According to reporting from CarScoops, $30,000 in cash and some steroids were found in the vehicle.
It's not clear if he was driving the same Tesla in Hawaii.
He was also accused, but not convicted, of other road rage incidents dating back to 2020.
As of Friday, it's not clear if he's been formally charged in Hawaii.
