A St. Croix woman was arrested Saturday after police said she forced her way into an apartment, armed herself with knives and attempted to assault the occupant during a domestic disturbance at the Candido Guadelupe housing apartments.
The 911 Emergency Call Center received a report of a domestic disturbance in progress at approximately 6:32 a.m. June 6, according to the Virgin Islands Police Department.
Responding patrol officers and investigators made contact with the parties involved and learned that Donna Emmanuel allegedly forced her way into the victim’s apartment, created a disturbance, armed herself with knives and attempted to assault the victim, according to the police report.
Emmanuel, 36, was escorted to the Wilbur H. Francis Command Police Station, advised of her Miranda rights, arrested and booked, police said.
She was charged with first-degree burglary, third-degree assault, possession of a dangerous weapon during the commission of a crime of violence and destruction of property, according to the police report.
Police said no bail was set pending her appearance before a judge. Emmanuel was transported to the John Bell Correctional Facility pending an advice of rights hearing scheduled for Monday in Superior Court.
