Gas Station Owner Charged with Possession of Stolen Property

Police on St. Croix arrested 71-year-old David A. Dawod on Monday and charged him with possession of stolen property.

Dawod was arrested at about 8:15 p.m. based on warrant issued by the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands.

During a May 6 raid of Everybody’s Service Station in Estate La Grande Princess, which Dawod owns, police confiscated a pressure washer that was reported stolen in a residential burglary.

Also confiscated in the raid were several hundred illegal or “boot leg” DVDs and ammunition.

Two customers who were at the gas station at the time of the raid were found to be in possession of marijuana and were arrested. The gas station manager, 33-year-old Tarik Abballah of Estate Barron Spot attempted to “push through” the police perimeter. He was arrested and charged with Interfering with an Officer.

Dawod’s bail was set at $25,000, which he posted.
