HONOLULU POLICE OFFICER CONVICTED, MUST PAY $580

A Honolulu police officer has been convicted in Las Vegas of
misdemeanor driving under the influence and marijuana charges
stemming from his arrest last August. He was in Las Vegas to take
part in a softball tournament.

A justice of the peace Tuesday found Kevin Fujioka, 38, guilty of the
two misdemeanor charges and ordered Fujioka to pay $580 in fines and fees.

Prosecutor Bruce Nelson yesterday said that a felony charge of
driving under the influence against Fujioka was dismissed because it
conflicted with the misdemeanor DUI charge.

Prosecutors last month dropped a misdemeanor marijuana possession
charge against another Honolulu police officer, 47-year-old Shayne
Souza, after he pleaded guilty to obstructing a public officer.

Souza and Fujioka were arrested Aug. 15 in a van near a park several
miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.
