Man accused of forging police records to gain employment

FREDERIKSTED — A St. Croix man is accused of forging police records in order to gain employment with a government agency

Kishsion Thomas, 37. was arrested and charged with forgery, filing or recording forged instruments, and fraudulent claims upon the government, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.

The case began on May 6, 2024, when the Economic Crimes Unit began an investigation into a forgery complaint filed by a representative of the Virgin Islands Police against Thomas, according to the VIPD.

“The investigation revealed that Kishsion Thomas presented forged VIPD record and traffic records to the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority in order to obtain employment by avoiding the disclosure of his criminal and traffic records to the Human Resources Department,” VIPD spokeswoman Kishma Chichester said.
