The allegations against him are that he violated the terms of his probation by working for aquariums.He was arrested by Federal probation officers in Texas. An Austin judge denied his request for bond. He is being transferred to District Court in Miami, to await his hearing on the charge. However, there are no more official facts as to the specific allegations of his violation or where he was allegedly working. Although some sources say that Covino was seen at the Austin Aquarium, which is owned by Covino’s relatives. Covino co-owned the Idaho Aquarium with his brother, Vince Covino. Vince Covino also owns an aquarium in Austin and San Antonio.MORE
