ST. CROIX ‘MOVING PRO’ FACES ASSAULT CHARGES IN SUPERIOR COURT

ST. CROIX — A longtime moving professional known for his years of labor in the Peter’s Farm and Peter’s Rest industrial areas appeared in Superior Court this morning to face serious felony charges.

Brandon Wilson, 47, a familiar face in the local moving and storage industry, was before Judge Yolan C. Brow Ross in Room CR-103. Wilson’s appearance stems from a January 5, 2026 incident at Estate La Grande Princess, where VIPD officers responded to reports of a domestic disturbance.

According to police records, the responding detectives observed visible injuries to a female victim. Wilson was subsequently charged with Second-Degree Assault, a felony. Known to many as a dedicated worker in the Peter’s Farm area near Walsh Metal Works, Wilson now faces a complex legal battle as the case moves forward.
