ARRESTED OFFICE OF HAWAIIANS AFFAIRS TRUSTEE NOT TO BE TRUSTED

Former Governor's Son Sets Bad Example As Role Model

John Waihe`e IV is expected to formally resign as vice chairman of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs board of trustees at the board's monthly meeting today.

Waihe`e, 37, is expected to stay on the board, however.
Last month, Waihe`e pleaded not guilty to a charge that he drove under the influence of alcohol near Punchbowl in May.

Waihe`e, an OHA board member since 2000 whose current four-year term runs out in 2010, could not be reached for comment late yesterday....


...Waihe`e's was one of several high-profile DUI arrests locally last year....


...Waihe`e has yet to make a public comment on his arrest.


On the date of his plea last month, he ran from news crews waiting outside court to interview him....


...Waihe`e is the son of former Gov. John Waihe`e III.
