Driver Attempted to Evade Officers During Traffic Enforcement 
St. Thomas, USVI - On Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at approximately 5:13 p.m., members of 
the Virgin Islands Police Department Operation Rewind Task Force were conducting traffic 
enforcement on Frenchman’s Bay Road leading to Havensight. While officers were initiating 
traffic stops, a 1998 silver Honda Civic exited its lane of traffic, turned around and drove off 
in the opposite direction. Officers on scene immediately responded to the fleeing driver who 
entered the Havensight area at a high rate of speed into oncoming traffic while trying to 
evade officers. The driver ignored fellow motorist and pedestrians, as he ran through red 
lights and finally a locked gate. The driver jumped out of the vehicle with a backpack in tow. 
As the suspect ran trying to flee officers, he threw out contents from the bag, which included 
a firearm magazine that was loaded to capacity, a firearm and controlled substances. The 
suspect later surrendered to law enforcement officers.  
Mr. Kishawn Castor, 20-years-old was arrested and charged with Possession of Unlicensed 
Firearm, Delaying and Obstructing, Reckless Endangerment, Destruction of Government 
Property, Fleeing the scene of an Accident, Possession of Ammunition, Unregistered and 
Uninsured Vehicle. Bail was set at $91,000.00. Unable to post bail he was remanded to the 
Bureau of Corrections pending his Advice of Rights Hearing.
