One of Two Honolulu Cops Fired For Marijuana Conviction Reinstated

Were both fired after being caught with marijuana while in Las Vegas

One of two Honolulu police officers fired after being convicted of marijuana-related charges in Las Vegas in 2009 has been reinstated to HPD, Hawaii News Now has learned.

In August 2009, the two police officers in Las Vegas for a softball tournament were arrested in Desert Breeze Park, a few miles away from the Vegas strip. 

Shayne Souza and Kevin Fujioka were charged with marijuana possession and other violations. 

Vegas police said when they approached the men's van that smelled of marijuana, they drove away and then ran away on foot.
