Sixty-nine-year-old Hubert Charles was arrested May 16, charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition, reported the Virgin Islands Police Department.
His arrest followed a call the 911 Emergency Call Center received from an individual requesting an escort to her home due to a domestic incident involving a male acquaintance, who was reportedly violent and in possession of a firearm, the police report stated.
Officers subsequently made contact with the suspect, Charles, and a firearm was recovered inside the residence and Charles admitted that he had brought it there. Charles does
not have a license to carry a firearm or ammunition in the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the report.
Charles was booked, and unable to post bail set at $50,000, he was transported to the John A. Bell Correctional Facility pending his advice of rights hearing.
