CHRISTIANSTED — A St. Croix man allegedly tried to rob someone in the parking lot of a mostly empty shopping center on the Big Island late Sunday night, authorities said.
Dierre McLittle, 31 of Constitution Hill was arrested about 10:50 p.m. Sunday and charged with first-degree attempted robbery, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
“Investigation revealed that McLittle attempted to rob an individual in the parking lot of Kmart Department store in the Sunny Isle Shopping Center,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said.
Bail for McLittle was set at $10,000. Unable to post bail, he was remanded to the custody of the Virgin Islands Bureau of Corrections (BOC) pending an advice-of-rights hearing.
