HONOLULU — This is an official press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (USAO - Hawaii), published as received.

HONOLULU – United States Attorney Ken Sorenson announced that Craig Domingo, 60, of Mililani, Oahu, was indicted on June 4, 2026, on firearm and drug charges including two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and/or ammunition, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.  Domingo was previously charged by criminal complaint on March 28, 2025 and has been detained since his arrest on federal charges.

According to court records, Domingo was arrested on state burglary charges in November 2023.  A narcotics detection canine alerted to the presence of drugs during an inspection of Domingo’s vehicle, and a subsequent search of his vehicle uncovered ten rounds of ammunition and glass pipes containing methamphetamine residue.  Domingo, who had a previous conviction for Robbery in the First Degree, was charged federally in 2025 with being a felon in possession of ammunition.  Following additional investigation, he was subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury on additional charges of possessing with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and possessing a short-barreled shotgun in furtherance of that crime, as well as possessing the shotgun and ammunition as a felon.

If convicted, Domingo faces up to life imprisonment, including a mandatory minimum sentence of twenty years, and fine of up to $20,000,000, plus a term of supervised release.

The charges in the indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.  In the case of conviction, any sentence would be imposed by a United States District Judge based on the statutory sentencing factors and the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines.

FBI is investigating the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Eucker is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
