Two Honolulu police officers have been charged in the past week with felonies — one for allegedly assaulting a truck driver during a road rage incident and another, now retired, for allegedly shooting a bartender in a mishap.

On Tuesday, prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against officer Keoki Duarte, charging him with unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, attempted unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and third-degree assault.

Duarte allegedly assaulted truck driver Jonard Escalante, 26, of Kalihi, at about noon on Dec. 7.

Escalante said he accidentally hit Duarte’s car while changing lanes on Farrington Highway near the Kahe Power Plant and pulled over. Duarte, who was off duty at the time, got out and began shouting and swearing at Escalante, then punched Escalante’s passenger door.

Escalante said he was apologizing, but Duarte came to the driver’s door, opened it, grabbed him and threw him to the ground.

Duarte pushed Escalante, who was pleading for him to stop, to the ground multiple times and punched and kicked him, then began choking him until he began to black out, Escalante said.

“I tap him to let me go because I cannot breathe,” he said by phone Wednesday.

Escalante said Duarte let him go after another driver who had stopped intervened. He said he doesn’t know what would have happened if the other driver had not shown up.

Escalante didn’t know his attacker was a police officer until after other officers responded.

“He’s not supposed to do that because he knows the law,” he said of Duarte. “He cannot do that.”

Police said Duarte is on restricted duty.

Retired Sgt. Anson Kimura was charged Friday with second-degree assault in connection with an early morning shooting at King’s Sports Bar on South King Street last year.

Authorities said a 41-year-old female bartender was shot in the stomach when a handgun accidentally discharged in the bar on April 3, 2015.

Kimura, 57, who was off duty when the shooting happened, was placed on restricted duty and retired in May 2015 with 25 years of service.

Kimura turned himself in Tuesday and posted $5,000 bail.

A Honolulu Police Department spokeswoman said the department is conducting an internal investigation into the actions of the officers who responded to the shooting.
