Two Men Arrested for Williams Delight Assault; Firearms and Ammunition Seized During Police Operation

The V.I. Police Department has confirmed the arrests of two men in connection with a violent assault in Williams Delight earlier this month that left a man hospitalized with serious injuries.

Police said that on September 3, at about 10:42 p.m., officers were dispatched after 911 received multiple reports of an assault near Cane Valley. Responding officers found that the victim, an adult male, had suffered significant injuries to his head and body. He was transported by ambulance to the Juan F. Luis Hospital emergency room, where he was admitted for treatment.

Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau and Major Crime Unit initiated an investigation that identified 56-year-old Henry Emmanuel and 37-year-old Angel Santiago as suspects. The Superior Court later issued arrest and search warrants for both men. On September 22, detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau and the Special Operation Bureau executed those warrants, taking Emmanuel and Santiago into custody.

During the execution of a search warrant at Santiago’s residence, investigators recovered three firearms, ammunition, scopes, and additional firearm-related equipment. Both suspects were read their Miranda Rights, booked, and remanded to custody after being unable to post bail, which was set at $100,000 each.
