A former Honolulu government employee pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of theft, forgery and professional misconduct in telling the Hawaiʻi Foodbank that $800,000 in pandemic relief funds were available, then covering up the fact that it wasn’t after the food had already been distributed. An attorney for Dexter Kishida, 46, entered his plea of not guilty in Circuit Court to all three counts, which combined carry a possible sentence of 20 years.
