ST. THOMAS — United States Attorney Gretchen C.F. Shappert for the District of the Virgin Islands announced Tuesday 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.
