A Honolulu District Court judge delayed trial again for a police officer charged with driving under the influence of an intoxicant after a motor vehicle crash in Waikiki.

District Judge David Lo on Monday granted a delay until March 27 for Lt. Colin Wong to go on trial after his attorney R. Patrick McPherson asked for a continuance so he can file a motion to dismiss the case.

McPherson said he plans to address a couple of issues, one of which is whether prosecutors can prove the crash in which Wong was charged occurred on a public roadway, street or highway.

At about 2:30 a.m. March 30, Wong was reportedly off duty when he allegedly hit a parked car near the Modern Hono­lulu Hotel in Waikiki. Wong was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of an intoxicant and refusing to submit to a Breathlyzer and blood-alcohol test.

Wong serves in HPD’s Specialized Services Division and remains on restricted duty.

In October a District Court judge dismissed the case without prejudice because the arresting officer was unavailable to testify because of a pre-scheduled vacation. The 180-day period for a speedy trial also was going to lapse.

Wong’s case was delayed several times for various reasons.

Soon after the dismissal, prosecutors refiled charges against Wong, who later pleaded not guilty at his arraignment.
