(AP) — An independent investigation has found the Maui Police Department properly handled last year’s accident involving its chief backing his truck into a parked motorcycle at a shopping center. The Maui Police Commission asked their counterparts in Honolulu to investigate whether then-Chief Tivoli Faaumu should face any charges for leaving the scene of the accident and whether there was any misconduct. The Maui News reports the investigation found the department properly classified the accident at Queen Kaahumanu Center as a civil matter and followed police policies. Faaumu says he didn’t see anything behind him when he reversed his truck out of a stall.
