ST. THOMAS — On Friday at about 4:50 p.m., Rony Tati-Liz, age 22 of Berger Gade, was arrested and charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of ammunition, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, the V.I.P.D. announced Monday.
Officers of the V.I.P.D.'s Crime Initiative performed a traffic stop on a vehicle operated by Mr. Tati-Liz. During the traffic stop, officers noticed a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle. That prompted officers to search the vehicle, where they found an unlicensed firearm, ammunition, and marijuana packaged for distribution, among other items, the V.I.P.D. said.
Mr. Tati-Liz was arrested and transported to the Richard Callwood Command where he was booked and processed.
Unable to post bail of $50,000, he was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections pending his advisement hearing.
