D. Alfred Love-Boltz did not testify at the brief hearing. Instead his case was transferred to circuit court where he's expected to plead not guilty when he's arraigned next Monday morning.

Five days after the break-in at Iolani Palace, public tours resumed today. And there were a lot more security officers watching over the property.

In addition to privately hired guards, officers from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Sheriff's office were posted in and around the palace.

Soon, new rules will make it easier for security to arrest trespassers who try to lock the gates.

“We're hoping the public will support the new proposed rules that DLNR is issuing. They're accepting written testimony through September 5th addressed to the division of state parks, and we feel that these rules will help educate groups coming onto the grounds why the place is so sensitive and so fragile,” said Kippen de Alba Chu, Executive Dir. Of Iolani Palace.

The extent of damage done by the Hawaiian sovereignty group that broke into the palace on Friday has not yet been determined. But you can see traces of what a sledge hammer and a crow bar did to the door of the barracks and this lock on a front door of the palace will have to be replaced.
