Kevin Henley indicted on bulk cash smuggling charge in USVI
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.
