Former University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan will appear in Circuit Court next month to respond to a misdemeanor charge of making a false police report.
He was first arraigned in District Court on July 16, and the case is now moving through Circuit Court after he requested a jury trial.
Brennan was not in court Monday, but his attorney, Michael Green, entered a plea of not guilty on a criminal complaint filed against Brennan on June 19.
The complaint gave no details about the alleged false police report and did not specify the circumstances that led to the charge.
No other details were available from the prosecutor’s office.
After requesting the jury trial, Green told the court that Brennan was on the mainland.
No bail was set for the misdemeanor charge, which carries a maximum jail sentence of one year and a $2,000 fine.
The case will be heard by Judge Christine Kuriyama beginning the week of Sept. 28.
In July 2013 Brennan pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of alcohol. He was fined $300.
Brennan was the Washington Redskins’ sixth-round pick in the 2008 National Football League Draft. He was with the Redskins for two seasons, spending the 2009 season on injured reserve, before being released in 2010. He was with the Oakland Raiders for a month in 2010 before again being released.
In March 2014 Brennan told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. Brennan said the condition was caused from injuries suffered in a 2010 two-car accident in which he was a passenger. Brennan was hospitalized for eight days with injuries to his head, ribs and collarbone from the Nov. 19, 2010, Hawaii island accident.
