Four charged
Charged this afternoon were Doris Mills, 55, Gregory Alleyne Jr., 29, Alisma Wheatley, 24, and Kervin Collis Rhymer, 35, all of Sea Cows Bay. The charges made were in keeping with possession of unlicensed firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply.
The four are due to appear at the Magistrate’s Court and Commissioner of Police Michael B. Matthews lauded the work of his officers, “this is one less illegal firearm on our streets because of the dedicated work of these officers… While it might seem like an uphill battle with our seemingly porous borders, the Virgin Islands is continuing to benefit from work carried out by officers of this Force in seizing firearms, arresting persons keeping these weapons as well as those engaging in the illegal drug trade,” the Police Commissioner said.
Just last week, another youth was similarly charged with firearm, ammunition and drug possession charges following a search of his premises.

It is sad. I don’t know if saying sorry is the right words to say right now especially when guns and ammunition is involved. That aint nothing to play around with. Somebody’s life was being held in the balance but God intercepted. It could have been my son, nephew, daughter, father, mother, sister or any family member for all I know. All I can say to everybody is amend your ways, work hard, use your hands wisely and honestly for what you want and not in any deceptive ways. It will catch up with you one day. My heart ache for all the family members and children who have to go through the worry and stress of seeing their loved ones faces all over the media sites and through social media. Hold your head up high and be strong for them if you have to.
