Hawai‘i Police Commission Regular Session Minutes December 21, 2012 Page 7 HPC 12-45: Timothy Snedeker went on to say that the suspect, in his statement, stated that he sprayed him in his face with brake clean because he had used the sledgehammer to bust the lock on the gate. In the beginning of the officerÓs report, it states, ÐWitness stated that the suspect sprayed what he thought was WD40 causing irritation to his body.Ñ The victimÓs statement says he felt no pain, and there was no contact with any spray. The statements contradict each other. ThatÓs falsifying documents. In response to questions from Vice Chair Ignacio, Snedeker state ownership documentation to the property. His mom has one-third of the property. She claims to have an agreement with his brother that he is a tenant. He pays her $250 a month. He has no knowledge of this. If they have an agreement, it should have been discussed with him. He is doing and selling drugs on the property. He is building illegal structures on the property. It clearly states in the contract, ÐNo modification without written approval.Ñ He has been paying for the property since June 2007. He doesnÓt want to lose the property. Chair Ono stated that his brother and his mom told the officer that they own the property and that he is not the owner. The officer relied on that information. Snedeker stated that he doesnÓt know what they told the officer, but they have no documentation; he has the documentation. His mother has one third, he has one third, and his girlfriend has one third. Snedeker stated that he is a witness to his fatherÓs complaint (Delbert Snedeker). DELBERT SNEDEKER (HPC 12-46) came before the commission. His complaint is against Officer Cameros. On December 1, 2012, his son Albert came out yelling, waving his hands, and threatening him. He kept yelling about Timothy because they had some kind of argument. He told Timmy to call the police. Officer Cameros came and told him to go to the station and make a report. When he went to the station, Officer Cameros told him that if he pressed charges against Albert, they would press charges against his grand-son-in-law and he would be a witness. and intimated to either file a complaint or have his grand-son-in-law arrested for something he didnÓt do. TIMOTHY SNEDEKER stated that he had multiple witnesses who gave their statement to Officer Cameros. Before the officer took any action, he questioned the suspectÓs witnesses. This is against protocol. RONALD ALLISON (HPC 12-43) came before the commission. One of his issues is with Sam Kawamoto. He received a phone call from Josie on Friday evening asking to reschedule him to February 15. He asked if it was normal for Captain Sam Kawamoto to be part of the meeting and if he would be there on February 15. Chair Ono stated that Captain Kawamoto would not be in the meeting. He is there now because they are in open session.
