Shit. Hole.
HONOLULU (AP) — ABC Stores employees said they've had to buy a $300 power washer to clean feces away from their Cooke Street corporate headquarters since dozens of homeless people moved back into their neighborhood this month.
The employees say the homeless people camp out front each night when nearby Mother Waldron Park closes. ABC Stores warehouse manager Mark Flores says he spends 90 minutes each morning waking up people to ask them to clear the front of the building so employees can park their vehicles.
Officers hand-picked by former Police Chief Louis Kealoha for an elite unit that investigates terrorism, organized crime and other serious crimes helped the couple frame a relative to discredit him in a family financial dispute that threatened to unveil the schemes to pilfer money, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday.
Honolulu police have arrested two men after a teen was apparently stabbed at Ala Moana Beach Park Sunday night.
The incident happened around 6:15 p.m. A 17-year-old male was treated for multiple lacerations to his upper body and taken to a nearby hospital in serious condition, according to paramedics.
The all-day manhunt began following a late night traffic stop. When officers approached his car, Waiki reportedly exited the vehicle and started shooting, fatally wounding officer Bronson Kaliloa.
And while meth and heroin still dominate the area, a spokesman for the state's largest homeless service provider says there's been a re-emergence of a drug last popular in the 1980s.
"Crack cocaine is not something we really see too often across encampments throughout Oahu. This is really unique and individualized to Chinatown," said Kimo Carvalho.
Honolulu prosecuting attorney Keith Kaneshiro is the target of an FBI investigation into corruption at the highest levels of law enforcement on Oahu."There is stuff coming down that the entire legal system is going to be ashamed of," Green said. "I mean the whole country is going to look at the potential of the prosecutor's office maybe getting charged."
Another sign federal authorities are focused on Kaneshiro — the same team of special prosecutors from San Diego who got the Kealoha indictments, is leading the Kaneshiro grand jury, too. That team is led by assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Wheat.
Evidence for a federal high-profile corruption case against former Honolulu Chief of Police Louis Kealoha and his wife Katherine is missing.
Honolulu Police confirm they've opened a theft case because attorney Christopher Woo, who was representing Big Island firefighter Jesse Ebersole claims his laptop and cell phone were stolen.
He was never charged with the more eye-catching expenses that he billed to the county for a $1,200 surfboard; $400 that he spent at the Camelot Restaurant and Lounge hostess bar and a $892 tab at the Club Evergreen hostess bar, which are both located in Honolulu.
Ahakuelo, who has headed the union since 2011, has come under fire from some members for hiring relatives at the union. Last year, the union paid more than $600,000 in salaries and benefits to Ahakuelo and his family members.
