Ex-cop gets 2-day jail term in DUI plea deal

A former Maui Police Department officer was sentenced to a two-day jail term after he pleaded no contest last week to driving under the influence of alcohol.

John Salomon, 41, was arrested on the charge after a single-vehicle crash at 1:53 p.m. June 11, 2015, in Central Maui, police said. He also was charged with refusing to provide a blood, breath or urine sample, inattention to driving and reckless driving.

At the time, Salomon had been a police officer for about three years. Police were investigating Salomon in connection with several reports of a man sexually exposing himself in Pukalani parking lots May 30, 2015.

After Salomon pleaded no contest to nine counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, he was sentenced Jan. 7 to a 60-day jail term as part of one year’s probation.

Police reported Salomon was fired in 2015.

Court records show that on Jan. 20, Salomon, who now lives in Kahului, pleaded no contest to the DUI charge and lack of due care. He was ordered to pay restitution in an amount to be determined.

As part of a plea agreement, charges were dismissed for refusing to provide a blood, breath or urine sample and inattention to driving.

Court records show Salomon’s driver’s license was revoked for two years until July 11.
