I'm no expert and this is only anecdotal but my brother stays in the us and has gone through the whole visa thing and green card malarkey.
One of his friends was refused a tourist visa for a cannabis conviction here and was told he could appeal it by going to the US embassy in London but it was on a case by case basis.
Another of his friends got a speeding ticket whilst visiting him in the states which he foolishly didn't pay and when he applied for a new visa a couple of years later he was refused on grounds of outstanding warrant in the US.
Perhaps worth waiting until he finds if he has an actual record and possibly a call to the embassy for advice...
Hope this Helps.
FIJI is very similar to Hawaii and no such issues.
