| Subject: Statist Criminal Busted: US probe alleges corruption by top Honolulu law enforcers Sat Oct 21, 2017 4:52 am | |
| HONOLULU (AP) - A former Honolulu police chief who retired amid a federal investigation into department-wide corruption has been indicted and arrested. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Wheat says Louis Kealoha and his wife, Katherine, a deputy prosecutor, surrendered to federal authorities outside their home Friday. An FBI investigation started after the couple accused her uncle of stealing a mailbox from their home in an upscale neighborhood. The uncle, Gerard Puana, went to trial for the theft but the case abruptly ended in a mistrial and charges were dismissed. Puana’s federal defender Alexander Silvert accused the Kealohas of framing his client to discredit him in a family financial dispute. Silvert raised accusations including that police falsified reports and used a special unit to monitor Puana illegally. The attorney took those accusations to the FBI.
