Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann spoke out strongly Tuesday after two HPD police officers were arrested in Las Vegas over the weekend for possession of marijuana and other misdemeanors.

The mayor told Khon2 he had already spoken to Police Chief Boisse Correa and Hannemann promised both officers would be disciplined harshly if the allegations are true.

"If it means suspension (or) if it means termination we will do that,” said the mayor, “but we have to give them their day in court to verify the allegations that have been made.”

Kevin Fujioka, 37, and Shayne Souza, 47 were arrested Saturday night at Desert Breeze Park a few miles outside the Las Vegas Strip when park officers noticed the van they were in was parked sideways.

Both HPD officers were at the popular park for a softball game as part of the 2009 Nevada Police & Fire Games.

Authorities say when Desert Breeze park officers approached the van Fujioka drove away in an effort to elude capture. After a brief foot chase Fujioka and Souza were arrested, however Souza had to be subdued with pepper spray.
