Jahnai Pickering charged for possession of criminal proceeds

The following is a media release from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).

Police charged the captain and lone occupant of a boat that fled from US authorities in the BVI waters yesterday.

Jahnai Pickering, 25, of Spooners Estate will face the offences of possession of proceeds of criminal conduct and unlawful possession of a controlled substance after his apprehension and a subsequent search uncovered a quantity of cash and drugs.

A joint operation between the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force and U.S. authorities resulted a boat chase by Federal agents which ended in Frenchman’s Cay on the western end of Tortola.

The lone occupant was taken into custody. Since investigations are still very active, no other information can be released at this time.
