O‘ahu Circuit Court Judge Ronald G. Johnson sentenced Honolulu Police Officer Cheyne Kaninau for Insurance Fraud, a Class-C felony.

Kaninau was involved in an automobile accident and subsequently obtained a GEICO insurance policy. He then attempted to file a claim with GEICO to have them pay for damages to his uninsured vehicle in the amount of $6,700.00.

As part of his sentence, Kaninau was ordered to perform community service, pay a fine as well as mandatory court related fees. Judge Johnson also granted a deferral whereby Kaninau was ordered to abide by the standard terms and conditions for a period of four years.
