## Resource

Maui police officer Devin Schoeppner, a 12-year veteran, has pleaded not guilty to multiple sexual assault charges stemming from an alleged rape in May 2025 after a car crash — he’s now under FBI scrutiny as they probe potential misconduct by law enforcement. Meanwhile, fellow officer Lt. Michael Vaituulala, who led Maui’s Criminal Intelligence Unit, was arrested by the FBI for wire fraud allegedly tied to protecting illegal activities like drug dealing and fireworks sales — facing up to 20 years in prison. Both cases are unfolding amid overlapping investigations by county authorities, the FBI, and DOJ, with Vaituulala’s defense pushing for evidence access ahead of trial.
