A 34-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday in connection with a May assault at Magens Bay beach that left a security guard injured, according to the V.I. Police Department.
Nadelle James surrendered to police around 6:24 p.m. at the Richard Callwood Command and was charged with third-degree assault, simple assault, and disturbance of the peace. Bail was set at $25,000, according to the police report.
The arrest stems from an incident on Saturday, May 24, during the Slider Showdown event at Magens Bay. A male security guard told officers he was attempting to break up a fight involving several women when he was struck in the nose by a bottle thrown by a woman. The injury required sutures, police said.
James was identified as the suspect during the investigation led by the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to call the VIPD Criminal Investigation Bureau at 340-774-2211, contact the 911 Emergency Call Center, or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers USVI at 800-222-TIPS (8477). Police said all tips are confidential.
