HILO (HawaiiNewsNow) - Jay Dee “BJ” Penn, 46, has been arrested and charged for allegedly violating a protective order.

According to Hawaii Island police, officers were called to his family home Monday just after 4 p.m. and determined he had entered the Puueo Street property.

Police said this violated the terms of a protective order filed by Penn’s 79-year-old mother, Lorraine Shin, which was effective until next May.

Penn was later located in the area and arrested without incident.

He was charged Tuesday and released after posting $2,000 bail.

Shin filed for the order earlier this year after he allegedly assaulted her outside of her home.
