Former SI Boro Prez’s Grandson Had 100 Pounds Of Pot: Cops, Report

NEW YORK CITY — The grandson of former Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro was busted with 100 pounds of marijuana after a shooting, according to police and a report.

Steven Molinaro, 33, faces a criminal possession of cannabis charge after NYPD officers found him Wednesday with a “large quantity” of marijuana inside a Lyman Avenue home in Staten Island, authorities said.

The bust occurred about 1:55 p.m. after NYPD officers responded to a shooting inside the home, police said. They found a woman, 22, with a gunshot wound to her chest, authorities said.

Medics rushed her to a local hospital while officers investigated the home, authorities said.

Police told Patch on Friday that they didn’t have information on what unfolded in the shooting, or whether it was connected to the marijuana they saw in plain view inside the home.

Both the shooting and the drug complaint are under investigation, police said.

Molinaro is the grandson of former borough President James Molinaro, the New York Post reported.

Steven Molinaro has a long history of trouble with the law.

In 2006, he faced an attempted murder charge in a schoolyard beating and stabbing, the New York Times reported. He received a five-year sentence that was converted to probation, which he was accused of violating by riding past and glaring one of the beating victims, the Times reported.

And this isn’t the first time Molinaro stood accused of having roughly 100 pounds of marijuana — authorities in Sonoma County, California in 2016 found a haul of weed that size in his rental car, the Staten Island Advance reported.
