CHRISTIANSTED — A St. Croix woman who stalked her former boyfriend and allegedly assaulted his current girlfriend with spray after first throwing a drink on him was arrested by police, authorities said.
Edeikah Jacobs, 22, of Work & Rest was arrested about 11:00 p.m. Saturday and charged with domestic violence and contempt of court-domestic violence, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
The victims reported that they were driving in Christiansted when they noticed Jacobs in a vehicle following them, according to the VIPD.
“The male victim, Jacobs’ former partner, pulled over to see why she was following them, at which time Jacobs approached the car and threw a drink on him,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said. “The female victim exited the vehicle and Jacobs sprayed something in the female victim’s face, causing her pain.”
The female victim notified officers of a court order against Jacobs for stalking and harassment, Derima said.
Jacobs was arrested for assaulting her former partner and for violating the court order, according to police.
She was not offered bail as per the territory’s domestic violence statutes.
She was turned over to the custody of the Bureau of Corrections pending her Advice of Rights hearing.
