On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: A judgment awarding more than $240,000 to a former St. Thomas Social employee and her partner is now on hold after the company, headed by Brett “Mac” McClafferty, moved the lawsuit to federal bankruptcy court, prompting a Superior Court judge to suspend further proceedings.

After years of delays, the Virgin Islands Department of Justice has officially opened a modular morgue on St. Croix, eliminating the longstanding need to transport deceased residents to St. Thomas for autopsies.

A man on St. Thomas faces multiple firearm and traffic-related charges following a police pursuit in which vehicle parts reportedly fell onto the roadway before the occupants fled the moving vehicle and officers recovered a firearm near nearby.

Listen to these stories and more.
