A confrontation between two construction workers on a Hawaii jobsite last month proves that not everything on the Big Island is chill.

According to a recent press release from the Hawaii Police Department, 23-year-old Cody Lewis Allen and a co-worker got into an altercation while at work in Kailua-Kona the morning of Nov. 2.

The disagreement quickly turned violent and very soon after, completely insane as Allen apparently began fighting with anything within arm’s reach.

Police say he first fired an air-powered nail gun in the direction of the 59-year-old worker he was fighting with before then “threatening him with a post.” Another 34-year-old worker then somehow got involved and Allen threatened him with a collapsable baton, though law enforcement officials did not indicate where exactly he got such a baton.

And to top it all off, Allen slashed the tires of a company truck before driving away from the site.

He was arrested Dec. 9 and charged with terroristic threatening, reckless endangering and criminal property damage. His bail was set at $4,250.
