Hawaii County Police Commission Regular Session Minutes April 21, 2006 Page 7 Complaint HPC 06 -05: Complainant, a juvenile, alleged that an officer harassed him and his friends about drinking. He also complained that he was harassed while in the holding cell. Commissioner Lundkvist moved and Commissioner Lassiter seconded that there was insufficient evidence to prove the complainant's allegations. The motion carried unanimously. (3:45 p.m.: Commissioners Whittemore, Frazier, and Mitchell exited the meeting.) Complaint HPC 06 -06: Complainant stated that an officer assured her that an APB was initiated against the person who beat her up. She alleged that the abuser was not arrested until 19 hours later because there was no APB on him. The complaint was deferred to the next meeting due to a lack of a quorum. Complaint HPC 06 -07: Complainant stated that she was arrested at the hospital emergency room for disorderly conduct. She alleged that while in jail, she was denied a phone call, was refused assistance for her incontinence, and was laughed at. She also alleged that when she was sent back to the hospital, the police lied about her condition, and so she was mistreated and humiliated. The complaint was deferred to the next meeting due to a lack of quorum. STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS — None.
