Former Bishop Estate trustee Gerard Jervis got busted last night, according to the Advertiser.
No mention about Jervis' other bit of history -- being caught in flagrante delicto in a bathroom of the Hawaii Price Hotel with someone else's wife, who shortly thereafter committed suicide, if I recall correctly.
EDIT: From this April 1999 story in the Star-Bulletin:
Former Bishop Estate trustee Gerard Jervis was arrested in the Lanikai area of Kailua late Friday night after he allegedly used his car to deliberately smash into the back end of a car carrying four 17-year-old boys.
According to a police description of the incident, the four boys were riding in a car through Lanikai "throwing eggs at random targets."
"One of the eggs landed in the suspect's yard and the suspect got got into his vehicle and began chasing the (boys') vehicle," according to the police narrative.
"During the chase, the suspect intentionally rear-ended the (boys') vehicle causing it to collide into the cable of an electrical pole which propelled the front of the (boys') vehicle into the air risking the lives of the (boys)," the narrative said.
It did not identify him by name, but a police arrest log showed that Jervis was arrested at 11:45 p.m. at the intersection of Aalapapa and Kaelepulu drives in Lanikai at 11:45 p.m. on suspicion of first-degree criminal property damage, a felony, and operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant, a petty misdemeanor.
Jervis, 59, listed a home address on Onekea Drive, about five blocks from where he was arrested.
Jervis was one of the five Bishop Estate trustees who were ousted or resigned during a scandal during the late 1990s during which the trustees were accused of mismanaging the multi-billion-dollar trust.
Jervis was taken to the main police station on Beretania Street for booking after his arrest. He could not be reached to comment on the matter.
The 17-year-old boy driving the other car was also arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and two of the boys were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor harassment in connection with the alleged egg-throwing incident.

EDIT: From this April 1999 story in the Star-Bulletin:
Bishop Estate trustee Gerard Jervis is "seriously assessing his future and is talking to a number of key people in this regard," his attorney said yesterday. "Trustee Jervis has returned to work on a limited basis," said attorney Ronald Sakamoto.
"He is still under doctor's care, and he is not prepared to make a statement or answer any questions at this time."
(...)
Jervis, 50, was discharged from Castle Medical Center March 22. He took an overdose of sleeping pills on March 11, the week after an estate lawyer, Rene Ojiri Kitaoka, committed suicide.
The day before her death, a security guard at the Hawaii Prince Hotel had found Jervis and Kitaoka in a compromising position in a hotel restroom.
Meanwhile, Kitaoka's husband filed a Circuit Court petition yesterday asking that the Honolulu Police Department be ordered to hand over all documents connected to her suicide to determine if any lawsuit will be filed against the city.
(...)
An autopsy report said Rene Kitaoka, 39, died from self-inflicted carbon monoxide poisoning. She was found unresponsive in a car parked in the garage of her Kaneohe home on March 3.
