It was clear by the timing of the e-mail from Marsha Mayeda that "there was no intent to impede or obstruct any DEA action," said county Chief Executive Officer Bill Fujioka.

However, Fujioka said he plans to meet with Mayeda to discuss the matter, and his office is conducting a review of the department.
