Maui Mayor Richard Bissen has called for Maui Police Chief John Pelletier to be placed on administrative leave in light of recent allegations that he played a role in an elaborate scheme that allowed people to be assaulted by rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2018. At the time, Pelletier was a Las Vegas police captain in charge of an area that included the glitzy boulevard of hotels and casinos known as The Strip. On Friday, Pelletier’s name was added to a long list of defendants that includes high-profile celebrities. Bissen urged the Maui Police Commission to conduct its own independent review of the accusations.
