Update: Mobster Marrapese due to leave ACI after 1

Mobster and soon-to-be ex-convict Frank L. “Bobo” Marrapese Jr. won’t leave jail before 1 p.m. today, according to Tracey Z. Poole, spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections.

The 67-year-old will be leaving from the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston after being fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet.

Last month, The Providence Journal reported that the 65-year-old had landed a job at a Anthony’s Restaurant in Johnston. The consequential news coverage resulted in the restaurant withdrawing its offer, and Marrapese’s release was postponed until he could find another job.

Marrapese, who was convicted in one gangland slaying and implicated in two other murders, will move back into his home at 104 Elwyn St. in Cranston.
