City prosecutors Wednesday charged University of Hawaii defensive tackle Ka‘aumoana Gifford with resisting arrest and two counts of harassment for allegedly interfering when police tried to arrest fellow football player Kennedy Tulimasealii last week.

Gifford, 20, will be arraigned in Honolulu District Court on May 10. Resisting arrest is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum jail sentence of one year and a $2,000 fine. Harassment is a petty misdemeanor — the least serious type of criminal offense in Hawaii — punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Tulimasealii, 21, was arrested on suspicion of domestic abuse, harassment and resisting arrest. He had not yet been charged Thursday.

Following their arrests, the pair, both from Waianae, were suspended for the remainder of the UH football team’s spring training.

Both will remain on scholarship and may continue to attend classes and participate in study hall but are indefinitely restricted from team-related activities.

A 20-year-old woman told police she was scratched during an altercation with Tulimasealii in a McCully Street apartment April 12. She was treated by paramedics at the scene.

Police used pepper spray on Tulimasealii when he allegedly resisted arrest. He was treated at Straub Clinic & Hospital for exposure to pepper spray.
