ST. CROIX — Police rearrested a man who was already jailed to charge him with first-degree robbery in connection with an incident that occurred on May 26, V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Glen Dratte has announced.
The robbery took place at Sam’s Service Station in Estate Glynn on the aforementioned date, according to Mr. Dratte. He said the 911 emergency call center was notified of the incident at about 5:15 p.m., and officers at the Wilbur Francis Command immediately responded.
Upon the officers’ arrival, contact was made with the victim, who stated that he was robbed at gunpoint by an assailant.
Further investigation from the V.I.P.D.’s Criminal Investigation Bureau led officers to Daquan J.J. Forde, 20, seen above. The arrest was made based on a warrant authorized by a Superior Court judge, Mr. Dratte said.
Mr. Forde was unable to post bail of $100,000. But even if he could have, he would still be led back to prison to continue serving a prior sentence.
