A 43-year-old woman was arrested on St. Croix after she allegedly damaged property and violated a restraining order at the home of a former acquaintance, according to the V.I. Police Department.
On June 21, a man called 911 to report that Tiffany Mendez was on his property, causing a disturbance and had broken a glass louver on his house window. The man also informed authorities that a Permanent Court Restraining Order was in place against Mendez, according to the police report.
By the time officers arrived, Mendez had already left the scene. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to contact her by phone, the department issued an all-points bulletin and a wanted poster, the police report stated.
Mendez turned herself into police Monday and was arrested for destruction of property (domestic violence), disturbance of the peace, and contempt of court related to a domestic violence matter, the report stated.
Under the Virgin Islands Domestic Violence Law, no bail was set. Mendez will remain in custody until her initial court appearance for an advisement of rights hearing
