A 17-year veteran of the Maui Police Department was charged Monday with two drug offenses, police said.
Ryan Masada, 39, turned himself in Monday night to the Wailuku station for one count of third-degree promoting a dangerous drug and one count of prohibited acts related to drug paraphernalia, acting Sgt. Tanya Dods said in an e-mail.
An information charging arrest warrant was issued for Masada, and he was processed and posted $10,000 bail, Dods said.
He has been reassigned from the Wailuku Patrol Division to administrative duty.
Dods would not release further details pending prosecution.
