HONOLULU -

Scott Michael McDonough known as "Otto" has a tasty Chinatown business.He's been selling cheesecakes at his shop called Otto Cake for nearly 3 years, but what's happening outside of his door on Smith Street has not been so sweet.

"I had seen him selling drugs to what I think was small kids," said McDonough.

McDonough said he's seen blatant drug deals of crystal methamphetamine across the street in a park, which have escalated to harrassment and death threats.

He even took pictures of a group of people with what he said looked like white substances in clear plastic bags.
