ST. THOMAS -- V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson announced this afternoon that Malaki George, 31, of Anna’s Retreat turned himself in and was arrested based on a warrant signed by Judge Adam Christian on February 2nd, 2016.
Mr. George was formally arrested and charged with the September 7, 2012 murder of David Payne.

Unable to make bail of $500,000 Mr. George was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections pending his advise-of-rights hearing.
Correction: January 17, 2015
A previous version of this story, because of an editing error, had Mr. George's bail amount at $500, when it's actually $500,000. The error has since been corrected.
