February 8th, 2007: The Honolulu Star Bulletin reports that Subway restaurant owner Patrick Aniban and his partner in crime Matthew Otterson are arraigned today in Maui court on charges stemming from the largest cocaine and ICE bust in Maui’s history, valued at more than $1.5 million.
A year later the case is still pending.
