Pickup Truck Races Through Checkpoint at Obama Vacation Home

-- A man fleeing from local police drove through an outer
perimeter checkpoint set up near President Barack Obama's Hawaii
vacation home Friday, the U.S. Secret Service said.    "Honolulu
police were going to arrest someone they had traffic warrants
for. He was able to get away from them, and led them in a high-
speed chase which ultimately led to one of our checkpoints,"
Donovan said.  The 39-year-old driver, who wasn't immediately
identified, was eventually arrested and didn't go near a
security barricade closer to the Obama vacation home.  The
president was playing golf at a nearby Marine base at the time.
Honolulu police said the chase began after officers went to a
Kailua home to arrest the man on five warrants for alleged
driving violations and he fled.  "He drove past a residential
checkpoint that was set up near the president's vacation home,
turned around then drove back out,"
