An anonymous tipster called Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at Cyril E. King Airport to report a woman at Lindbergh Bay Beach was “undocumented” and may have poisoned her boyfriend, according to Superior Court records.
Virgin Islands Police Department officers and Homeland Security agents contacted the woman, 47-year-old Bonnie Janski, or Jansky, who had an active arrest warrant issued by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, in Louisiana. Janski was wanted on charges of possession of marijuana, resisting an officer, driving while intoxicated, driving without a license, liability insurance required, and possession of open alcohol in a vehicle, according to court records.
On Friday, Janski, or Jansky, refused to give authorities her Social Security number. She told prosecutors she feared extradition back to Louisiana because someone had killed her boyfriend and attempted to kill her, according to court records. She asked for $1,000 bail. Prosecutors had a different story, saying Janski had killed her boyfriend, and Louisiana officials requested she be held without bail.
Jefferson Parish court records weren’t immediately available to explain the killing of Janski’s boyfriend or what her alleged involvement might be. Virgin Islands Judge Paula D. Norkaitis ordered Janski to provide her full Social Security number to law enforcement officers for identification, and ordered a follow up hearing Dec. 22.
