CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A St. Thomas man wanted for attacking a family member earlier this month voluntarily surrendered himself to police without incident, authorities said.
Shawn Blake, 40, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with second-degree assault-domestic violence, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
“Blake reportedly assaulted a family member during a disagreement on April 9,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said.
Blake surrendered himself to detectives of the Domestic Violence Unit.
Due to the territory’s domestic violence statutes, Blake was not offered bail.
He was remanded to the custody of the Virgin Islands Bureau of Corrections (BOC) pending an advice-of-rights hearing.
