In accordance with 12 V.I. Code Ann. § 99(b), whenever any person is apprehended for any violation of 12 V.I. Code Ann., the enforcement officer may serve upon him a citation and levy a fine, which citation and fine shall be in a form similar to a traffic ticket, prescribed by the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, and shall be known as a “Conservation Ticket.”
A conservation ticket shall include spaces for the name and address of the person cited, the offense charged and the time of its commission. Such spaces shall be filled with the appropriate information by the apprehending officer. The ticket shall also indicate the fine to be paid and the time limit for payment. If the fine is not paid within the stated time a summons to appear in court shall be issued, and if the violation was committed from a boat, fishing appliance, storage or processing plant, or any warehouse, building or vehicle engaged in transporting any game or wildlife product, a lien may be placed against same until the fine is paid.
If the cited person refuses to furnish his name and address, he may be taken into custody by the apprehending officer; provided that an enforcement officer shall not serve or issue a conservation ticket for any offense or violation except when it is committed in his presence.
