A 53-year-old Honolulu police officer is scheduled to appear in Kaneohe District Court next month for allegedly breaking into a home in Kaneohe Wednesday night.

Richard Staszyn, an eight-year veteran of the police force, faces one count of second-degree criminal trespass and another charge of fourth-degree criminal property damage. Both charges are misdemeanors.

He has been placed on restricted duty.

Staszyn was caught trying to break into a Kaneohe residence at 8:25 p.m. after a woman called police saying she saw a man was trying to force his way into her house.

His trial will be held at 9:30 a.m. July 23 in Kaneohe District Court.
