A St. Thomas woman was arrested early Sunday after police said she assaulted two people and shattered a glass door during back-to-back incidents in the Savan area, the Virgin Islands Police Department reported.
Police said the series of offenses began Sunday at about 1:06 a.m., when a female caller reported she had been punched in the face by another woman. Patrol officers arrived at En Canto Bar, where a witness told them the suspect, identified as Santa Cabral, was standing outside the establishment when she threw a rock at the door and shattered the glass.
While officers were still investigating, the 911 Emergency Call Center dispatched them to a second assault in progress at Classico Bar on Gamble Gade, located near En Canto Bar. When officers reached the scene on foot, they met a second victim who reported that the same suspect entered the business, spat in her face, punched her, and repeatedly slammed the bar’s door, according to the police report.
According to the report, officers conducted a foot search through Savan and found Cabral, who appeared intoxicated. She was taken to Schneider Regional Medical Center for treatment of a head laceration, then advised of her constitutional rights and arrested.
Cabral faces charges of destruction of property, assault and battery in the second degree, simple assault and battery, and disturbance of the peace. Her bail was set at $1500 under the Virgin Islands Code. Police said she was unable to post bail and was turned over to the Bureau of Corrections pending her advice of rights hearing, police said.
