Agents of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency arrested Mamie Williams, a Liberian from River Gee County, at the Karloken checkpoint in Maryland County on 9 September 2026 at about 1 p.m., the agency said.[1]
Officers found four plates of marijuana, which the LDEA valued at about US$400.[1] The arrest followed a tip-off about the transport of marijuana through the Karloken area.[1]
Williams was taken to Harper, where she remained in the custody of the LDEA’s Maryland County detachment while investigators worked to establish the circumstances of the possession and movement of the drug.[1] Special Agent John Williams McGee, the detachment’s chief of operations, confirmed the arrest and said officers acted on the tip-off.[1]
The agency did not disclose the informant or give the origin and intended destination of the marijuana.[1] Investigators were checking whether the case was isolated or connected to a larger distribution network in Maryland County and neighbouring areas.[1]
The LDEA said Williams would be formally charged and sent to court when the investigation was complete.[1]
