HONOLULU (AP) A former Honolulu police lieutenant must report to prison next week to serve a three-and-a-half year sentence in Hawaii s biggest ever corruption case after a U.S. judge denied his request to remain free while he appeals his conviction.
A judge denied Derek Wayne Hahn s motion at a hearing Tuesday, said his defense attorney, Victor Bakke.
A jury convicted Hahn, another former police officer, a former Honolulu police chief and the ex-chief’s former prosecutor wife of conspiracy in a plot to frame a man.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Just weeks away from his June 1 date to self-surrender at a mainland prison, Kealoha mailbox co-conspirator Derek Hahn wants a judge to let him stay in Hawaii.
Hahn, a former Honolulu police lieutenant, is supposed to report to a federal prison facility in Oregon. But Hahnâs attorney filed a motion Wednesday asking that he remain free until his appeal is complete.
Hahn was convicted of obstruction of justice and conspiracy in June 2019. And in December, he was sentenced to 42 months in prison for his role in the conspiracy.
