Man attacks cop, blames him for Erickson’s death
BVI News understands that a 24-year-old man was arrested earlier this week after allegedly attacking a police officer at an establishment in the Cane Garden Bay area.
According to reports, the suspect approached the officer and began hurling insults and issuing death threats. It is further understood that he referenced the recent death of Nyron Erickson, stating that he intended to avenge Erickson’s killing.
Eyewitnesses say the officer remained calm and attempted to de-escalate the situation, urging the young man to avoid causing a scene. However, the suspect reportedly continued his verbal tirade, which escalated into a physical altercation.
The officer subsequently arrested the man, who was taken into custody for questioning. Sources indicate that he has since been charged with assaulting a police officer, though it remains unclear whether he is still in custody.
Meanwhile, police have yet to release a motive or any further details surrounding the death of Erickson, who was fatally shot near Zion Hill in the vicinity of Big Ben’s gas station last Saturday.
Erickson, a former fugitive, had previously been linked to criminal activity. While no suspects have been officially named, unconfirmed reports suggest his killing may be connected to gang or drug-related activity.

Get the UK in and clean up this ghetto of drug trading & corruption..
The UK has its own slums, dope ridden communities, ghettos, drug trading and ghetto, red, blue and white collar corruption.
There you and them should start your cleaning. We can do for ourselves.
Umm the UK have some of the same thing!!!
If the police officer had a gun dude would have never did what he did.From what I heard on the street a lot of people is going to be getting attack in retaliation to WB death.
There is a lack of respect for officers here that is unacceptable. ironically the sames guy when they travel to the states and have that same attitude with policeman find out real quick what happens.
You have to report to the police station at regular intervals, regular ain’t good for staying alive.
Because his money source is over. Dude go get a legit job.

Ain the police arrest him when he got back from usvi jail? Then they sent him hmp?
Then the community cry out and complain about police arrest him again.
Well guess what police actually did in a favour he was safe up there
But y’all and him keep fighting for him to get out knowing fully well what awaits him outside.
Ignorance is bliss I guess
Free west bank.. well he’s free and now in the dirt.
I feel no sympathy for anyone who supports that life and have those guys as angels when them die. Women , men , family members, girlfriends , baby mamas,friends all of y’all who crying I feel no sympathy for any of you infact I think y’all might have screws loose for Thinking these type of people would love long prosperous lives. Many of them don’t make it to old age. Either jail or death or both in his case
I saw another country calling out nyron death saying he was a criminal what did BVI expect and some ignorant BVI locals going reply to the comments defending nyron like his lifestyle was clean as a whistle and was a good honest businessman. Clearly some screws loose
Good thing Andrew jail y’all would do the same thing. Good thing people with sense in law enforcement and courts cuz nobody would go jail or get punished in y’all eyes especially my local community
I heard someone mentioned that the young man was also known as “Yo’Killa”. What does that mean? Oh man.
I wonder if the man who attacked the cop knows something the rest of us do not know??
To all of you that was hollering to FREE WB WHEN HE WAS IN JAIL YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM GETTING EXECUTED AND LEFT AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DEAD. Y’ALL KNEW HE WAS A DEAD MAN WALKING . GO MARINATE ON THAT. Y’ALL NEED TO TAKE SOME OF THE BLAME. HE WAS SAFER SITTING UP IN THE PRISON.
