On Dec. 8 at 12:30 p.m., police arrested Jhostin Ramos, age 27 of Campo Rico – charged with 3rd Degree Burglary and Jayvon Frederick, age 27 of Castle Burke – charged with 3rd Degree Burglary and Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm.
The owner of a residence in Cotton Valley, St. Croix, contacted the 911 Emergency Call Center to report a burglary after observing two males on video surveillance removing items from his home. Officers dispatched to the residence made a traffic stop of a van with two male occupants and concluded they were, in fact, the burglary suspects. Upon searching the van, officers recovered stolen items removed from the home and a backpack containing a firearm.
Bail for Ramos and Frederick was set at $25,000 each. Unable to post bail, both men were remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Corrections, pending their Advice of Rights hearings.
All individuals listed as arrested or charged with a crime in this press release are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
