St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands – On September 5, 2025, Mr. Othnell Gumbs was arrested on charges of Third Degree Assault, Possession of Ammunition, and related offenses, which include the Carrying or usage of a dangerous weapon, Discharging or aiming firearms, and Brandishing, exhibiting or utilizing a deadly weapon. This arrest was prompted by the review of security camera footage of Gumbs aiming and discharging a firearm at another individual. Gumbs acknowledged that he does not possess a firearm license and denies ownership of any firearm.
Upon arrival, law enforcement officers obtained a telephonic search warrant, during which ammunition was discovered in Gumb’s possession.
Due to his inability to post the bail amount set at $25,000.00, 64-year-old Othnell Gumbs was remanded to the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility, pending his Advisement of Rights Hearing.
