UPDATE:Port officer charged with two counts of cannabis possession

A serving port officer from Madrelle Loubiere, Alistair Bert Riviere-Alfred, is facing two criminal counts of cannabis possession following a law enforcement operation at the Woodbridge Bay Port on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Local law enforcement authorities confirmed that the arrest followed the discovery of contraband in two separate locations. The first cache of the prohibited substance was uncovered during a search of a shipping barrel stored within the Woodbridge Bay Port facility. Acting on evidence gathered during the port search, investigators then executed a warrant at Riviere-Alfred’s private residence, where they found a second quantity of cannabis. Following the completion of initial evidence processing, official charges were formally filed against the port employee. Riviere-Alfred has been scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday, August 21, 2026, when he will answer to the possession charges before a magistrate. As of the latest update, no additional details about the quantity of cannabis seized or potential connections to broader drug trafficking operations have been released by authorities.
