Perverted justice.
I first remember hearing of Louis Kealoha and his wife Katherine Kealoha when chatting with the effervescent Eddie Rothman one bright and shiny North Shore morning some eight years ago (buy here). He was speaking of the general corruption in Honolulu and how the whole business was rotten to the core.
I believed him, of course, as you would have, but also a little skeptical.
Like, all the way to the core?
Well, I shouldn’t have been as yesterday Honolulu’s former police chief Louis and his wife, a former deputy prosecutor with the city, were sentenced to long stretches in prison for their roles in what is being called “the worst corruption scandal in Hawaii’s history.”
Mister got seven years.
Missus, who he repeatedly kicked under the bus, a whopping thirteen.
She was charged with trying to frame her uncle for stealing her mailbox in 2013, ripping off her uncle, grandmother and own children to fund a lavish lifestyle that included “trips to Disneyland, Elton John concert tickets and Maserati car payments” and other things.
He was mostly charged with helping.
She blamed painkillers.
He blamed her.
The judge didn’t care and walloped them hard because she had “perverted justice over and over and over again.”
“You framed your uncle for a crime that he didn’t commit,” he said. “Let me say that again. You framed your uncle for a crime he never committed. And given that your husband was the chief of police, the task wasn’t difficult. That’s the shock of all this.”
Mister divorced missus last year, mid-trail, when it was revealed she was having a tawdry affair.
Many questions, but one is paramount, or at least for me.
What sort of person buys a Maserati?
Like, you can buy a Porsche for the same price.
Very confused.

Thats nice, I guess. I’ve been watching this
While this may be true today Chas, through the mid-70s, maseratis were the best designs in car history, particularly from the mid-60s to mid-70s and they fucking dominated F-1 historically through that era trouncing all comers including Enzo Ferrari. Agree they are rather staid today and attract the wrong audience now, but what a legacy that company has in automotive history…
Yep, if you report on all the blackfellas beating the shit out of their families,
You a racist.
Black people are the biggest threat to black people
Statistically correct Bex
I think a more interesting question would be: “Who has the smaller penis, a Maserati driver or a Porsche driver?”
At this point on this comment string, without a doubt, this is the best ever string of next-to-nothing-to-do-at-all-with-actual-surfing comments for a next-to-do-with-nothing-at-all-about-actual-surfing Beach Grit story… goes to show what a worldly, multi-talented, knowledgeable crew we all here at Beach Grit…
Retarded
Chas- remind us all again how you managed to pull off showing up on the North Shore, befriending Eddie Rothman, writing a book or two that exposes a bunch of dirty little secrets, and no one besides Ashton has taken a “swing” at you? Very impressive.
Cos he’s shit and no one has read his books?
I also enjoy blow and huffing freon in the morning. You seem like a calm fun dude to hang out with.
Is there a link to beachgrit from OAN or something? WTH is going on here?
Plumbers and board shapers are the new political experts
What kind of person buys a Maserati? The question should be what kind of person buys Elton John tickets with grafted money.
Elton>acdc
Hopefully as my 8 years old would say, youre pulling a sarcasm.
nope. phil collins > nirvana
exactly, not what you’d expect from the top Moke at 5-0 especially when his last name is shared with the greatest Hawaiian surfer of all time, Dane.
I saw Elton at Madison Square Garden but they were floor seats (second row!) and I didn’t pay for them.
It was a great show.
My Holden V8 ute would hose your trinket Chas.
Yup.
My green shitbox here is parked in front of the $4mil house my bestie and lived at on Kahala ave in 1989.
He was a cop and I painted houses. We were 25
Can confirm the masterbadge was alive and well in the 80’s
What kind of person buys a Porsche anyway?
What kind of person
Commits a cunning fraud then
Pays to see Elton?
All luxury cars (and designer clothes) are bullshit, sorry Chas.
A-fucken-men
Whats the difference between a (insert whatever over-priced a$$hole magnet luxury car brand here) and a porcupine?
…always my favorite riddle around the break table for us middle-class working fools…
it’s just human nature , greed , money power , and a kealoha ….Dane’s uncle…
not his uncle
Maseratis are for people that take pictures in front of private jets they aren’t flying on for Insta.
Maserati is the new “Cadi” mate!
fucken Hillary.
I wonder if they fly that thin blue line flag outside of their house.
classy couple. will try to remember this story during Christmas dinner with the in laws. should help them seem less cunty.
Here is a little Hawaii Five O Xmas reminder .
Book Him Danno Murder One ….
Radio Birdman at their Best
True story: Jack Lord once briefly babysat me in Waikiki when my mother asked a random dude sitting next to her to watch me so she could go for a quick swim.
Mahalo Five O Jack …. Cool story CB ….NOW If only he had taken you for a dip and you had a swim ring buoyancy aid thingy-ma-giggy on you ….
The Headline could read ….Jack Lord of the Rings ? and did he checkout your mum’s channel bottom ? Book ‘em Danno ! that’s my mum !
Steve Lord is/was a legend. Longest running show on TV at the time and every episode still holds up today. The characters, the Villains, the names of each episode, the music, phenomenal. He was so cool that even when the show ended he stayed in Hawaii for the rest of his life. Great episode where Dan-O goes surfing on Maui (possibly Kuai) and gets kidnapped, McGarret at the end of the episode after rescuing Dan-O nearly beats the villain to death just above the shorebreak.
Raquel Welch used to babysit Jeff Divine at La Jolla lo those many decades ago. And Dick Metz used to frolic in the sand in Laguna Beach with Shirley Temple.
