CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A wanted Florida fugitive from justice was arrested when he tried unsuccessfully to clear airport screening at Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas yesterday, authorities said.
Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau traveled to Cyril E. King Airport to detain 33-year-old Randolph Donovan Jr., after they were notified that he was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents about 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
Donovan Jr., of Estate Wintberg, was found to have an active warrant out of the State of Florida. He was then transported to the Alexander Farrelly Justice Complex pending a notification from the State of Florida, according to the VIPD.
The State of Florida responded and said that they would pursue charges against Donovan Jr. He was then booked, processed and turned over to the Bureau of Corrections Detention Center.
Donovan Jr. was hailed as hero by everyone from Governor Albert Bryan, Jr. to CNN after he helped two other men rescue a wheelchair-bound cruise passenger who fell off the WICO dock on August 17.
