Beach vendors charged following altercation over “selling spot”
Devin Parson of Carrot Bay, 42 was charged with wounding while Luvan Francis of Meyers was charged with common assault. Both were granted police bail.
According to information reaching Virgin Islands News Online the incident took place on Saturday morning when one vendor, who had allegedly occupied a particular spot on the beach for several years where he rents chairs, asked a newcomer to remove himself from that location.
It is unclear what caused the physical attack or how it started but concerns have since been raised by other vendors regarding the frequent conflict among vendors and the impact it can have on their businesses.
