Hilario was previously found guilty of Murder in the First Degree. On Thursday, he was found guilty of two counts of Place to Keep Pistol or Revolver, two counts of Carrying or Possessing a Loaded Firearm on a Public Highway, Promoting a Dangerous Drug in the Second Degree, and Promoting a Dangerous Drug in the Third Degree.

All are all connected to an incident on August 24, 2010. Police had issued a BOLO (Be On the Look Out) for a gray Nissan Altima involved with the gunpoint robbery of Aureo Moore at the Kapa‘a Safeway parking lot.

KAPAA, KAUAI (HawaiiNewsNow)- The Department of Water on Kauai has scheduled a water outage for customers in the Kapa'a - Waipouli area on Thursday, May 16, from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. on Friday.

The shutdown will allow the department's contractor, Goodfellow Bros., to connect a temporary bypass waterline to the existing system. This project is part of Water Plan 2020, DOW's comprehensive long range plan to replace or repair aging infrastructure, so customers can continue to be provided with safe and affordable water.

During the outage, customers along Kūhi'ō Highway from the Keaka Road intersection to the Inia Street intersection will have no water service. Those along Kipuni Way, Panihi, Akoa, and Akia roads will also have no water service.
