• Hawai‘i Island police say officers responded at 4:03 p.m. on Sept. 15 to Puueo Street, determined Penn had entered a prohibited property, and arrested him nearby without incident.
• He was charged on Sept. 16 with violating the order for protection and released after posting $2,000 bail, according to police.
• The one-year order was granted in late August by Judge Jeffrey Ng, requiring no contact with his mother and a 100-yard buffer from her residence.
• This is Penn’s fifth arrest since late May following prior bookings on allegations that include abuse of a family or household member and earlier restraining-order violations.
• Court filings from his mother describe alleged physical and psychological abuse and cite concerns about Capgras-like delusions, while reports note Penn has said he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and trials are scheduled for late October and early November.
