Maui: Prosecuting attorney removed from office Don Guzman to challenge decision
The Maui County Council voted unanimously on Friday to remove Prosecuting Attorney Don Guzman over violence in the workplace claims, affirming a council committee decision about a month ago.
Recognizing Guzman’s work while leading his department, the council also said on Friday it could not overlook his behavior and voted 9-0 to approve a resolution submitted by Mayor Michael Victorino in October seeking Guzman’s removal.
“The committee acknowledged the accomplishments of the prosecuting attorney while head of the department but could not overlook a pattern of behavior involving angry outbursts and verbal threats in violation of the county’s violence in the workplace action plan,” Council Member Mike Molina said Friday before the vote.
