St. Thomas, USVI – United States Attorney Gretchen C.F.
Shappert for the District of the Virgin Islands announced that a complaint has
been filed against Sheldon Stuart Isles for attempting to smuggle marijuana
into St. Thomas. Isles made his initial appearance in federal court Monday in
St. Thomas.
According to the affidavit filed in the case, Isles was
stopped at the Cyril E. King airport after arriving in St. Thomas from Miami,
FL. CBP officers then searched his luggage and found the approximately 15
kilograms of marijuana.
This case is being investigated by the Department of
Homeland Security. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney
Kyle Payne.
A complaint is merely a charging document, and it is not
evidence of guilt. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
