UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn’s legal issues aren’t limited to a restraining order and custody battle.
A public records request revealed Penn also is under an active police investigation after he allegedly threatened a taro farmer with a machete in a dispute over trespassing.
In January 2018, police released an all-points bulletin stating that Penn, 40, was wanted by police. Penn was accused of first-degree terroristic threatening, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Sergeant Jason Grouns of the Hawaii Police Department on Thurday told MMA Junkie the case remains active 15 months after the alleged incident because “all parties involved have not been located (or) contacted yet, and it cannot be routed to the prosecutors until complete.”
