CHARLOTTE AMALIE —A St. Thomas man who stalked a woman to her workplace and then assaulted her is facing domestic violence and related charges, authorities said.
Ducson Antoine, 35, was arrested and charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle, third-degree robbery-domestic violence, simple assault-domestic violence and disturbance of the peace-domestic violence, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
No bail was offered to Antoine due to the territory’s domestic violence statutes.

The case began about 4:58 p.m. on August 21, when the Domestic Violence Unit was notified that a female victim was present at Richard Callwood Command Police Station reporting that she had been assaulted, according to the VIPD.
“The female stated that a former acquaintance, Ducson Antoine came to her place of employment and assaulted her,” VIPD spokeswoman Kishma Chichester said.
The victim also stated that Antoine “came to her job where he forcefully took her cell
phone, the keys to her house and vehicle and slapped her in the face,” Chichester said.
“When Mr. Antoine left the business, he removed her vehicle from where she parked it,” the police spokeswoman said.
Antoine surrendered himself in to the Domestic Violence Unit yesterday, when he was arrested, booked and charged.
This case is currently under active investigation by the Domestic Violence Unit.
