Chief Prosecutor Taco Stein said the suspect is wanted for questioning pertaining to the accusation that has been filed with the police against him.
It is not clear if the suspect in question was trying to leave the island in a bid to escape police since police also arrested the driver of the car that took him to the airport.
Asked if the suspect was residing on the island legally Stein said he does not know if the man has residency papers for St. Maarten but the man was living on St. Maarten.
