A young man faces serious charges after allegedly trying to drag a woman into his truck in broad daylight, a case that's bad news for the victim but also raising questions about his mental state.

• Diesel Kawelo is charged with kidnapping after surveillance video allegedly caught him chasing and grabbing a 24-year-old woman near a Diamond Head garage, though she broke free before he fled.
• Police say he parked with his door open and stalked two women from behind, then was later found running around naked and was arrested a few miles away.
• He has no real criminal record beyond traffic tickets, graduated from Kamehameha Kapalama in 2021, and was a standout athlete, which his attorney says points to undiagnosed psychiatric problems rather than a need for jail.
• His attorney is expected to push for a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation instead of continued detention; bail has been set at $500,000.

Outlook: A preliminary hearing is set for Monday, where the push for a psychiatric evaluation will likely be a central issue.
