The charges against Dover stem from November 18, 2022, when members of the Criminal Investigation and Special Operation Bureaus executed a search warrant at a residence in Tan
Tan Terrace and while doing so discovered firearms parts in Dover’s bedroom, according to the VIPD.
“The parts were subsequently confiscated,” VIPD spokeswoman Kishma Chichester said.

Dover was placed under arrest by police at the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility in Golden Grove where he is currently being detained on an undisclosed matter.

He was advised of his Miranda Rights at police headquarters in Mars Hill, Frederiksted where he was booked and processed, police said.

Dover is scheduled for an advice-of-rights hearing in Superior Court on Monday.
