HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- An editorial cartoon depicting football star Manti Te'o on the beach with his arm around an imaginary girlfriend appeared in Tuesday's editions of a newspaper in San Diego, where Te'o was drafted last week to play for the Chargers in the NFL.

The cartoon by Steve Breen is an obvious reference to a hoax in which a man admitted to making up Te'o's online girlfriend. It depicts Te'o walking on the beach wearing a Chargers' t-shirt, shorts and slippers as the sun sets in the distance. His right arm is extended, as he says, "Honey, I think we're going to love living in San Diego."

"That's not a nice welcome at all," said Kaili Honbo in Waikiki after being shown the cartoon. "It is mocking. And it's a bad representation of somebody from Hawaii."

HALEIWA, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow)- A Haleiwa woman faces a charge of first-degree cruelty to animals after she allegedly used what was described as a "dangerous instrument" to discipline her dog.

Investigators said the woman called police after the dog died from its injuries.

The incident happened at about 6 p.m. Sunday in a quiet Haleiwa neighborhood on Paalaa Road. Neighbors said they didn't hear any unusual noises from the house at the time.

"I don't know who said what, but we didn't hear anything, because my bedroom is right here, and I'm home all day," said neighbor Debbie Ige.

Ige and several other neighbors said that Fiegel was quiet and kept to herself. "But I see her," said Ige. "She walks her dogs to the mailbox. And she's quiet. And I don't think she would do that."
