HONOLULU (KHON2) – A Honolulu man accused of leaving dangerous objects on the road earlier this year has pleaded no contest in court.
Back in February, George Sado was charged after police said he left glass bottles, nails, and other sharp items on highways in Honolulu.
Community members reported the problem on social media, stating that it put drivers, animals, and people at risk.
Today, Friday, Oct. 3, Sado entered a no-contest plea to the charge of depositing glass on a highway. The judge gave him a deferral, which means the charge could be cleared from his record if he stays out of trouble for one year.
Sado must pay fines, write a public apology in court, and complete 75 hours of community service. He will also have a mental health assessment and treatment if recommended.
If he follows all the rules set by the court, the charge will be dismissed after the one-year deferral period.
