According to the VI Consortium, United States Attorney Ronald W. Sharpe announced on Tuesday November 10, 2015 that a federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment on November 5, 2015, charging Kevin Greaves, 43, of St Thomas, with bulk cash smuggling.
It further said that a press release was stated that Greaves was arrested on August 22, 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 today, November 12, 2015.
According to the indictment and court documents, “Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents were conducting surveillance in the East End area of St John when they observed Greaves approach a vessel that had signaled its arrival from Tortola, BVI, to Greaves at an area overlooking Haulover Bay, St. John. Greaves traveled from the lookout area to Haulover Bay, met with the occupants of the vessel, then departed after a brief encounter.”
HSI agents, it further stated, followed Greaves to the Pine Peace area where they stopped him and questioned him about his travels. Greaves reportedly told agents that he went to Haulover Bay to discuss a welding job with a mechanic. Agents conducted a search of Greaves’ vehicle and found two duffle bags containing $118,000.00 cash in US currency. Greaves was arrested and charged with failure to declare the currency after it arrived in the United States Virgin Islands from a place outside the United States.
The case is being investigated by HSI, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Delia L. Smith.
