CHARLOTTE, AMALIE, St Thomas, USVI — Kevin Henley, a resident of Tortola, [British] Virgin Islands, is to appear in court in St Thomas, USVI on Thursday November 12, 2015 after allegedly being found with a quantity of undisclosed cash in October.

According to the VI Consortium, United States Attorney Ronald W. Sharpe announced on November 10, 2015 that a federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment on November 5, 2015, charging Henley, 21, with bulk cash smuggling.

Henley was arrested on October 7, 2015, and was released on home confinement with electronic monitoring after posting a $25,000.00 cash bond pending trial. His arraignment and advice of rights on the indictment are scheduled to occur on November 12, 2015.

According to the indictment and court documents, agents of the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), were conducting surveillance in Red Hook, St Thomas, when they observed Henley load several packages on his British registered vessel docked at the American Yacht Harbor. Henley departed the American Yacht Harbor, but his vessel soon stalled, and he was escorted back to the ferry dock by a passenger ferry.

As Henley approached the dock, he allegedly grabbed a black duffle bag from his vessel and attempted to flee the dock without the other packages and without securing the vessel. Henley was immediately apprehended by HSI agents. Upon inspection of Henley’s duffle bag, agents allegedly found approximately $256,386.00 cash in U.S. Currency. Henley was arrested and charged with failure to declare his currency before departing the United States Virgin Islands.

United States Attorney Sharpe reminded the public that an indictment is merely a formal charging document and is not evidence of guilt. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty. This case is being investigated by HSI, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Delia L. Smith.

    If our security services at the Beef Island Airport would be more vigilant a whole lot more than that could be seized and put to good use. Its not only drugs but money laundering as well.

      Oh really??!! You really think that??!! Why wouldn't the people at the destination you're leaving from want to know you're leaving with all that money? I'm sure they'll want to know where they going with so much money? If it was just OK to just leave with so much money he wouldn't have gotten locked up in the first place. They would have been like "Oh it's just a lot of money, he good, let him go."

    how we gon blame the youths when the same people who raping our country is who promote the cultural ignorance? who own the tv stations, music and other forms of entertainment that promote a life of fast living and crime? Look at what is glorified on tv whether it cartoon or not. It is NOT the fault of the youths........ the system is deliberately set up to have parents farr too busy for a family and poison your children through that oblong box in ur house.
