Thanks to the sharp-eyed reader who pointed me to a second, follow-up Honolulu Star-Advertiser article about the 2013 incident in which a man was arrested for taking a shot at John Stancil, the younger brother of Mike Miske, and a co-defendant in the pending federal racketeering case against what federal prosecutors are calling the Miske Enterprise.

This second story provided further details of the incident based on a police affidavit filed in court for the arraignment of Jon Frederick Rapozo, who had been arrested after the shooting.

According to the Star-Advertiser account, the shooting happened just after 4:30 a.m. as Stancil was standing next to his truck on the side of Iana Street in Kailua talking to Sonny Kaloi. Rapozo pulled up in a stolen truck, and Stancil asked “if he could have a private conversation with Kaloi.” That sounds to me like a polite version of Stancil telling Rapozo to f*** off.

Rapozo drove off, but returned and fired a shot which went through Stancil’s windshield.

Here’s how the Star-Advertiser reported it.

According to the Star-Advertiser, the police affidavit did not shed light on the motive for the shooting.

What is clear is that none of the three were strangers to the world of crime.

Just two months before the 2013 incident, Kaloi’s Nissan pickup had been seized by police, who alleged it had been involved in a theft and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, according to a forfeiture notice published later.

And Stancil was facing one felony assault charge and three misdemeanor assault charges stemming from two incidents when he was working as a bouncer at M Nightclub, partially owned and operated by his brother, Mike Miske, who had his own long criminal history.

Rapozo already had a substantial criminal history, including charges for assault, assault on a law enforcement officer, unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, and auto theft. In September 2012, Rapozo had been featured by Crimestoppers as one of Hawaii’s “most wanted.”

Court records show Rapozo and Kaloi had been charged together in November 2011 with terroristic threatening, a Class C felony. Rapozo’s bail in that case was set at $100,000, while Kaloi’s was $40,000. Ropozo was also facing charges in two other cases at the same time. One case included charges of promoting a dangerous drug (a Class C felony), along with misdemeanor charges for criminal trespass, resisting arrest, and assault on a law enforcement officer. The second case was for unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, another Class C felony.

There were repeated delays granted in the terroristic threatening case, most requested by defense attorneys.

In a court hearing held on April 30, 2012, prosecutors told Judge Edward Kubo they were not ready to proceed, and asked for another continuance. The request was opposed by Kaloi’s attorney. Judge Kubo overruled the objections and granted prosecutors a final 1-month continuance to May 25, court minutes show. But when May 25 rolled around, prosecutors were still unprepared and sought yet another continuance. Attorneys for both defendants objected. Judge Edward Kubo sided with them and ordered the charges dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning that they could not be refiled later.

Court records in the case could shed more light on the relationship between Kaloi and Rapozo. However, due to the current restrictions in court operations, those old case files have not been accessible.
