Man arrested for speaking softly and carrying big stick in strip club

CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A St. Thomas man is accused of hitting patrons of a strip club with a pool stick following an argument Friday night, authorities said.

Kavon Daniel, 25, was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, the Virgin Islands Police Department said. The case began at 9:06 p.m. Friday, when a Special Operations Bureau (SOB) officer responded to a disturbance in progress at the Ja Ja Bar on Kronprindsens Gade, according to the VIPD. When officers arrived on the scene, they met with the club’s management who stated that Daniel “entered the establishment assaulting several individuals with a pool stick,” VIPD spokeswoman Kishma Chichester said. “When officers attempted to restrain Mr. Daniel, he assaulted an officer,” Chichester added. Daniel was eventually subdued by officers and detained.
