A St. Croix woman wanted for Contempt of Court was arrested Wednesday after police said she twice appeared at a residence she was legally prohibited from approaching, the Virgin Islands Police Department announced.
Patrol officers were dispatched to the home on Nov. 1 at about 12:59 p.m. to provide assistance. When they arrived, the victim told officers that the previous evening, Oct. 31, at about 6 p.m., Nia Cruz came to the residence despite a Reciprocal Restraining Order barring her from being within 1,000 feet of him or his home. The victim reported that Cruz returned again on Nov. 1, prompting him to contact police, according to the police report.
According to the report, officers located Cruz on Nov. 5. The 37-year-old was taken into custody on a charge of Contempt of Court related to domestic violence.
