Santa Cruz Chairman Allegedly Pulled Gun at Ex Common-Law

Tonight, Vincent Scott, the Chairman of Santa Cruz Village, is in hot water with the law. His ex-common-law wife, Dalia Cabral, claims that he pulled a gun on her Monday night inside her home. She says they had an argument earlier in the day about a man who was at her house when Scott visited. Later that evening, Scott allegedly came back, pointed a gun at her, and tried to shoot, but the firearm jammed. News Five briefly spoke with Scott over the phone this morning after talking to Cabral. He told us he was heading to the police station. We tried to reach him again this afternoon but couldn’t get a hold of him. Here’s what Cabral shared with us over the phone.

 

On the Phone: Dalia Cabral, Santa Cruz Resident

“To be honest, I had a friend of mine fixing a radio and I thought it was not a problem, because I am not going to bring anyone in this house. I respect this house, because it is my kid’s house. He came and saw the guy inside. Mr. Scott looked for a machete and said, “I hear somebody the inside. I said, nobody the yah. The person jumps out the window and Mr. Scott goes downstairs like he then gets a gun and started chase ah round the village. I told him that is unnecessary, you moved on. Maybe dah mih the wrong fih take somebody at the house, but we weren’t doing anything. And I still could do anything because you gave the house to me and the kids. I didn’t see any problem with it. I didn’t see any problem with it. I went to do a report in Santa Cruz the same day and police say they have the guy to was breaking the house, because Mr. Scott said it is burglarized. How can it be burglarized when I let him inside. Mr. Scott comes after eight with the gun. The door was locked. He had a broken window. He entered with the gun, and it jammed. I had a break to run and jump off the verandah. Right now, my ankle is sprained. I don’t have anything to eat and nothing. I told him go hide, because if Scott would have found him there it would have been a big trouble. I was avoiding it. Everybody thinks it is my fault. I almost caused this guy’s death, but I was not doing anything with the guy.”
