REAL Housewives of Rhode Island star Dino Guilmette is facing life in prison after he was caught allegedly smuggling kilos of cocaine into the US from the Caribbean.
In court records obtained by The U.S. Sun, the RHORI star was hit with seven felony charges stemming from an incident on November 10, 2021.
Dino, best known as RHORI star and Cannabis Queen Liz McGraw’s close friend and confidant, was alleged to have been “selling large quantities of cocaine, believed to be in kilogram quantities, in the State of Rhode Island,” according to a Rhode Island State Police RISP affidavit published by GoLocalProvidence.
Dino, 48, and another individual whose identity was redacted, “were believed to be smuggling kilograms of cocaine into the State of Rhode Island from an unknown Caribbean island,” per the affidavit.
He has been charged with possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute, drug conspiracy, perjury, conspiracy, obtaining property by false pretense, and giving a false document to an agent.
The drug conspiracy charge carries a possible sentence of life in prison.
The case against Dino is ongoing, and he has an upcoming hearing in June.
Liz, 55, scored a coveted cannabis dispensary license in the nation’s smallest state back in 2023.
The Real Housewives star and Dino have been plagued by allegations of an affair.
In the second episode of RHORI, the other women confronted Liz about a rumor that she was having an affair.
While she shut down the gossip, she did open up about how close she is with Dino Guilmette, a mutual friend of her and Gerry.
She laughed it off, saying “We can pretend [it’s true] because it makes a great story, but no.”
Meanwhile, Liz’s husband, Gerry, is often away for long stretches of time on fishing expeditions.
“When Gerry wasn’t here, I was always with Dino,” Liz said.
