Rahkeem Swanston of Estate Whim, St. Croix, has been arrested a second time on illegal gun possession charges, after he was charged in connection with a shootout in July.
Swanston, 20, also known as âBobo,â was arrested Tuesday and charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession and sale of ammunition, according to a news release from V.I. Police Department spokesman Toby Derima.
Derima said officers working with âPhase 2 of the Virgin Islands Crime Initiativeâ stopped Swanstonâs vehicle while he was driving on Melvin Evans Highway near the Good Hope intersection at around 4:20 p.m.
âDuring the traffic stop, officers discovered a loaded firearm in the vehicle. A check of the VIPD Firearms Bureauâs records verified Swanston did not possess a license to carry a firearm in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which resulted in his arrest,â Derima said.
