HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A man arrested for impersonating police apologized for his actions Tuesday as community concern rises over people posing as fake officials.
Hawaii News Now law enforcement expert Tommy Aiu said it’s rare for someone in Hawaii to impersonate an officer but 19-year-old Taylor Yoshitomi-Jones was arrested for just that Friday night on the H-1 in West Oahu.
Yoshitomi-Jones called Hawaii News Now Tuesday to say sorry.
“I just really wanted to apologize for the whole situation, and I know it’s been strenuous to say the least and there was a lot of concern, especially within the community,” said Yoshitomi-Jones.
