       > The compulsive criminal dubbed the “St. Paul Slapper” is
       behind bars Monday after investigators said he walked into a
       Minnesota thrift shop and punched a customer before swinging a
       metal pipe at him.
       >
       > Justin K. Kaneakua, 38, was charged last week with second- and
       third-degree assault in connection with the attack inside the
       Savers shop in nearby Columbia Heights on Jan. 7. He is being
       held in jail ahead of his Feb. 11 hearing.
       >
       > Kaneakua earned the peculiar moniker after being accused of a
       string of random, profanity-laced assaults across St. Paul.
       >
       > “It was just bizarre behavior,” police spokesman Steve Linders
       said. “It’s unclear what his motive was.”
       >
       > A Savers employee claims Kaneakua came up and mumbled
       something to her in the store -- and when she asked him to
       repeat his comment, he started swearing at her. That’s when
       another customer intervened and tried calling 911. Kaneakua
       allegedly got angry, tried grabbing the cell phone from the
       customer’s hand and eventually running after the customer,
       punching him four or five times.
       >
       > The customer then said Kaneakua tried to hit him with a metal
       pipe but slipped on the ice and fell. The victim ended up with a
       broken tooth and needed stitches.
       >
       > Investigators said Kaneakua apparently has been linked to
       similar assaults in the area.
       >
       > On Dec. 12, they said Kaneakua was driving a pickup truck
       while wearing a blue bandanna over his mouth. He approached a
       man getting into a car and allegedly hit the man below the eye
       with a wrench, investigators added. About 15 minutes later he
       allegedly assaulted a woman with a Gatorade bottle.
       >
       > On Jan. 7, police say he assaulted two men in different
       incidents in the city. He’s accused of also damaging another
       man’s car.
       >
       > Court records showed Kaneaku has an extensive rap sheet
       including convictions in Minnesota from 1999 to 2017 for
       aggravated first-degree robbery, terroristic threats,
       trespassing, theft and disorderly conduct.
