Sisters Arrested, Again, in Alleged Gas Station Assault

Police arrested two St. Thomas sisters for allegedly ambushing another woman as she assisted an elderly man at a gas station Friday morning, according to court records.

Holding her young child, Anna Marie Hodge, 21, surprised the victim from behind at the Racetrack Gas Station in Estate Thomas with what police described as aggressive arguments. When the victim fled outside, Hodge allegedly “threw” the approximately-1-year-old child to the ground and came at the woman with her fists.

While the victim was being hit in the face and body, Hodge’s sister, 22-year-old Tynisha Marie Hodge, and another woman, accused child rapist Allaniyah Archibald, allegedly joined the fight, beating the victim to the ground. They were joined by an unidentified man who allegedly held the victim down while the others attacked, according to court records released Monday.

Someone went into the woman’s jacket pocket, removed her car keys, and threw them in dense bush at a nearby abandoned property, she told police. Then, Anna Hodge allegedly picked up a rock and slammed it down on the victim’s head, knocking her out. When she regained consciousness, she suffered some memory loss, nausea, and dizziness. She was also missing earrings valued at $268, according to court records.
