Morre made headlines when\u00a0he was seen walking into a business and attacking two people with punches and kicks to the head. He also threw a stool at one of the men.<\/p>\n

Officer Nelson Tamayori and Joe Becera, a reserve officer, were in the room, but were not involved in the assault. Becera was forced to resign.<\/p>\n

According to news reports<\/a>, the Honolulu Police Department opened up an assault investigation and turned the case over to the FBI.<\/p>\n

An HPD spokeswoman said Wednesday that the department is complying with the FBI in the case, and that Morre has been placed on desk duty with his police powers restricted.<\/p>\n

Morre is a nine-year veteran of the department and before the assault was assigned to the crime reduction unit, which is a specialized task force of typically plain-clothes officers who\u00a0focus on street crimes.<\/p>\n

An FBI spokeman said Morre was not arrested, and is scheduled to surrender himself for fingerprinting and processing at his arraignment in U.S. District Court next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
