According to court documents, Shandon Kealoha Paulino fled to Anchorage, Alaska, to avoid Family Court prosecution and ignored instructions from his attorney to return to Hawai'i until a warrant was issued for his arrest.

After reviewing evidence at a jurisdiction hearing yesterday, Family Court Judge Francis Wong waived Paulino to Circuit Court for prosecution as an adult for the criminal offenses he allegedly committed as a juvenile, the affidavit said.

Paulino, who turns 20 in December, is accused of stabbing a driver for "The Cab" in the upper right chest on March 19, 2005, at the intersection of Pailani and Kuhina streets in 'Ewa Beach. The cabbie was owed a $67 fare for driving Paulino and three others to 'Ewa Beach from Waikiki, the document said.

Paulino is also accused of planning the Sept. 8, 2005, robbery of Taco Bell Restaurant in 'Ewa Beach in which $1,633 was taken from a "timed locked" safe by a masked gunman who entered the restaurant through a back delivery door that was left unlocked by the accused, the affidavit said.

At the time of the robbery, Paulino was employed at Taco Bell and knew what time the safe could be opened, the document said. Brandon Paulino, Shandon's cousin, was found guilty of armed robbery in the Taco Bell case by Family Court on Sept. 6, 2006, according to the document.
