A 34-year-old man was arrested in June on St. Croix in connection with a domestic assault that left a woman with serious injuries to her jaw, according to the V.I. Police Department.
Police said the victim reported the assault March 31 around 3:04 a.m. at the Wilbur H. Francis Command Police Station. She told officers that earlier that morning — around 1:00 a.m. — she went to the residence of Ismael Navarro, knocked on his door several times, and was eventually met with a verbal confrontation. She said Navarro came outside and physically assaulted her, causing significant injury.
The VIPD’s Criminal Investigation Bureau opened an investigation, and a warrant for Navarro’s arrest was issued June 6. He was taken into custody June 24 and charged with third-degree assault under the Domestic Violence statute, the police report stated.
