FREDERIKSTED — Police released a mugshot of the security guard accused of recklessly shooting at people in his own neighborhood.
His reckless behavior, allegedly done together with his girlfriend, earned the couple the nickname “Crucian Bonnie and Clyde.”
Tony “Big T” Elizee, 37, of Mount Pleasant West was arrested at 7:48 p.m. Friday and charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, discharging or aiming a firearm, carrying of firearms openly or concealed, third-degree assault, possession of ammunition and third-degree false reporting, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
“Elizee and his girlfriend, 34-year-old Michelle Wakefield of Estate Cane Carlton, are accused of discharging a firearm at individuals in the neighborhood where he lives, which resulted in damages to homes,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said.
Bail for Elizee was set at $100,000. Unable to post bail, he was turned over to the custody of the Bureau of Corrections pending an advice-of-rights hearing.
Elizee, a security guard by trade, was arrested based on a bench warrant issued by the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands.
He voluntarily surrendered himself to police on Friday night, according to the VIPD.
