Former HPD sergeant’s case resolved

The former police sergeant who allegedly injured and threatened family members has seen much of his case dropped.

Marvin Troutman, 62, was the sergeant for the District II Traffic and was charged with abuse of a family member, two counts of terroristic threatening II and terroristic threatening I after an incident at 1:50 a.m. on Jan. 29.

He allegedly pulled the hair of a 55-year-old woman and threatened her and an 18-year-old man.

Troutman had been charged with threatening Officer Jonathan Bartsch when he arrived at the scene. This charge was dropped by prosecution after a grand jury did not find enough evidence to charge Troutman.

After the incident he was placed on administrative leave, police said. He is no longer employed by the department, said Chris Loos, public relations specialist for the department. She directed further questions to Assistant Chief Marshall Kanehailua in the Administrative Bureau, who did not return a call for comment.

Attempts to reach Police Chief Harry S. Kubojiri were unsuccessful.

The plea agreement created a charge of disorderly conduct, to which he pleaded guilty.

The plea means that if Troutman obeys the conditions from the court for 30 days, the charge of disorderly conduct will be dismissed.

According to court documents, he completed anger management courses and alcohol assessments and the recommendation was no further treatment.

His defense attorney was Michael Schlueter.

The prosecutor who finished the case was Joyce Seelen.

An order of nolle prosequi with prejudice was entered for the remaining three charges. As a result those cases can not be brought against Troutman again.
