The U.S. Secret Service says a man fleeing from police drove through an outer perimeter checkpoint set up near President Barack Obama's Hawaii vacation home.

Neighborhood resident Rhea Yamashiro took pictures of a Secret Service agent sprinting toward the pickup truck and pointing her gun toward the driver.

Spokesman Ed Donovan says the incident was not related to the president's visit.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser says police were chasing the man who was trying to evade arrest on several driving-related warrants.

The driver was arrested a short while later and didn't go through a security barricade that's closer to the Obama vacation home.

The president was playing golf at a nearby Marine base at the time.
