OPINION OF THE COURT
(September 13, 2010)
Hodge, CJ.
Appellant Roland G. Murrell (hereafter “Murrell”) requests that this Court reverse the Superior Court’s March 11, 2009 Judgment and Commitment on the grounds that the evidence is not sufficient to sustain his convictions for disturbing the peace and that the Superior Court’s invocation of 14 V.I.C. § 4 deprived him of his constitutional right to a trial by jury. For the reasons that follow we will *330affirm Murrell’s convictions, but vacate his sentence and remand the matter to the Superior Court for re-sentencing.
