Episode Details

A Maui police lieutenant is locked up without bail after federal authorities accused him of accepting bribes to cover up drug trafficking, illegal cockfighting, and fireworks sales. The judge sided with prosecutors, calling him a flight risk and a danger to the public — and hinted there’s more evidence to come. While the department’s chief insists this doesn’t reflect the entire force, Vaituulala’s family broke down in tears as he was led away, speaking in Tongan. His attorney stayed silent, and he’ll return to court August 27 for a preliminary hearing.
