Respect children. They can testify against you as soon as they can speak.
Can’t wait to see what his attorney will come up with. And the state is complicit by trying to keep this under wraps. We keep electing these bozos. Shame on us.
Three versions of the story. Party A, Party B, and what really happened. I’m itching to see this one unfold.
“Every story has three sides. Your side, my side, and the facts.”
That’s very true. And we should not pre-judge anything. But I have not forgotten this and remember it well, too many have commented to me about another DLNR employee. Then I experienced it and it made me quit fishing and other outdoor activities for awhile. Search “Henry Haina complaints”. Don’t ever feel people will forget you when you treat them like them like he did. For whatever reasons he did what he did back then, I hope he has changed.
I remember him. He was thug on a power trip, even pulled his weapon on kids.
Know him very well. Witnessed several inappropriate acts. Another one to check out is Gordon O. Currently works as a game officer on MCBS Hawaii K-Bay.
The loudest part of the evidence is within the forensics.
How does an animal like this get hired to a well-paying union job like that? Who else is on the prowl?
seriously? your issue is with how much he gets paid?
Perhaps he was confused about the definition of “NATURAL RESOURCES”?
I figured that the fish cops had the day off on the 1st, as it was a state holiday.
They were out trolling for underage bait
Good one! Wonder if he was actually on duty or abusing the uniform.
Facebook this cat. You will see in his photos that this man had some sexual tension. Bye bye dumb dumb. Now you can go have fun in prison. Yep, a former law enforcement officer in prison who may be guilty of a rape. That should be fun for him.
Yep, this guy’s an idiot.
Lower than a animal. A animal would never mo lest.
Is he the same Ethan Ferguson that was fired from HPD?
A face only a mother could love.
Yes.
Yes, regarding fired.
New broomstick included in every prison cell.
DLNR wants more guns for their boys, too, right? Yeah, this guy looks winna…trust him with a 9mm and a badge…
Actually, they carry Glock 22 pistols which are chambered in .40 S&W. :-O
He has issues with himself. Low, low, sound familiar?
Civil Beat 2/18/14:
Honolulu police officer Ethan Ferguson was fired in 2013 after he falsified records and lied to investigators about transporting a female runaway, who was underage.
But as with much of the misconduct that takes place within the ranks of Hawaii’s police departments little has been revealed about what exactly Ferguson did to get stripped of his badge.
Let’s go down the checklist. Former HPD? check. Transfer to another govt job with civil service protections? check. DLNR position because he’s Hawaiian with possible nepotism connections? check. Likely that he gets of easy and ends getting a position with St Dept of Public Safety as a Halawa guard? One can only wonder and shake your head in disbelief. A Day in the Life on the New Plantation. Owned and operated by the Democratic Machine.
Another lawsuit for the State is what this will turn out to be. DLNR should be more careful about who they hire and give a badge/gun.
