A 43-year-old man was arrested Jan. 2 on burglary and related charges after police said he forcibly entered an office and accessed a prohibited area on St. Croix, the Virgin Islands Police Department reported.
VIPD patrol officers arrested John Allen at about 1:21 p.m. Jan. 2. Police said Allen admitted to forcing open office doors and damaging locking mechanisms to gain access to items inside a storage cabinet he was not authorized to possess while on the compound.
Allen was charged with third-degree burglary, destruction of property, and domestic violence, according to the police report.
Following his arrest, Allen was booked and processed. No bail was set because the case is classified as domestic violence. He was remanded to the John A. Bell Correctional Facility pending an advice of rights hearing, police said.
