CRIME WATCH: VEGGIE PLUS OWNER ASSAULTED; SUSPECT ARRESTED AFTER SEEKING CARE FOR BITE WOUND

SUMMARY

A late-night assault at a St. Thomas business ended with a suspect in handcuffs—and in the hospital. Vincent Wiltshire Jr. was arrested on Friday, March 20, after allegedly punching and slapping the owner of Veggie Plus during a domestic dispute. According to the VIPD, the victim was able to halt the assault by biting Wiltshire Jr. on the lip in self-defense. Officers later apprehended Wiltshire Jr. at the Schneider Regional Medical Center, where he was seeking treatment for the bloody injury sustained during the struggle. He now faces multiple domestic violence charges.
