ST. THOMAS — Police arrested two men on separate counts of burglary, grand larceny, assault and other charges, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson has announced.
Jackson said 22-year-old Derrick Johnson was arrested on Friday and charged with third degree burglary, grand larceny and possession of stolen property.
The charges and arrest stemmed from an incident that occurred one day earlier, Thursday, at about about 1:39 a.m. at the Fat Turtle restaurant, where Johnson was observed on surveillance video removing items from the business.
Johnson was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections pending his advise-of-rights hearing after failing to make bail of $25,000.
Elsewhere, a man named Lued A. Browne, 43 of Contant was arrested on Friday and charged with grand larceny, third degree assault and possession of a dangerous weapon during the commission of a crime of violence, according to Jackson.
Browne was arrested pursuant to a warrant that had been signed by Magistrate Court Judge, Carolyn P. Hermon-Purcell.
