A Maui man a jury recently found guilty of murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend was allegedly caught with contraband at Maui Community Correctional Center.
Police arrested Steven Capobianco on suspicion of contraband possession after correctional officers allegedly caught him with an undisclosed contraband wrapped in black tape.
Correctional officers recovered the contraband from Capobianco at about 6:45 p.m. Sunday in the visitation area during visitation hours at the correctional facility, according to the Department of Public Safety. DPS did not identify the contraband, which was wrapped in black tape.
Public Safety Director Nolan Espinda was unavailable today to comment on the incident. In a news release, Espinda said, “I commend our staff for their fast work in responding to a suspicious incident and discovering the contraband quickly and efficiently.”
DPS spokeswoman Toni Schwartz said there were no reports of any injuries involving correctional officers, visitors or other inmates.
Police are continuing their investigation.
Capobianco is in prison after a jury unanimously found him guilty in December of second-degree murder and second-degree arson in connection with the death of his ex-girlfriend, Carly “Charli” Scott.
Scott, 27, was five months pregnant at the time she was killed in February 2014. Capobianco was the father of the unborn child.
In addition to murder, he was convicted of setting her car on fire and is awaiting sentencing.
Where was it found ? Looks like he is doing favors already.
It was likely a knife wrapped in black for the handle. This man is not just a murderer. He is very dangerous to Maui.
I hope this adds more time to his sentence.
agree
This squirt is as good as dead. He might as well self-terminate and do the rest of us a favor.
NO HEART AND NO SOUL.
Well that says it all. Guilty and hopefully he expires soon behind the iron curtain.
put him in Halawa, and he will be history
send him to HALAWA
Apparently someone is doing him favors, either on the outside or inside! Wonder who? A nut case?
Police need to check the visitation log to see who came to see him.
Why yes, wrapping contraband in black tape is the perfect way to disguise it and avoid drawing attention to it.
This PoS is a class act. His life is over and he knows it. He’s got both to lose. Better get used to the “hide the sausage” routine, Stevie Boy. LOL!
