SPRAT HALL, St Croix, USVI — A 17-year-old man was arrested on Thursday December 10, 2015 for shooting at a home and car of someone he says owes him money, using a .22 caliber rifle that he stole, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson announced late Thursday.

According to Mr Jackson, at about 2:17 pm yesterday, the 911 emergency call centre received notification of gunfire being discharged in the area of Sprat Hall. Arriving on the scene, responding officers stopped a young man who was riding a bicycle, and noticed the clip of a .22 caliber rifle in his possession. A K-9 Unit was summoned and upon searching, found the gun, which the suspect had stolen.

The young man admitted that he shot at the home and car of someone who he says owes him money.

He was later charged with grand larceny, possession of an unlicensed firearm and the discharging of gunfire, according to Mr Jackson.
