(CMR) In a CMR exclusive report, we are able to confirm that Ryan Schroeder (39), Business Unit Director for U.S. Private Equity and Corporate at Intertrust Cayman was arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine this morning at his workplace on Elgin Avenue.
Well-placed sources informed us at the time the operation was underway that the RCIPS's Uniform Support Group and members of the company's management team were seen with police at a police SUV located across the street at popular Liberty's restaurant and at the entrance of Walker's building. The K-9 unit was also spotted on location. Further, they searched a vehicle that had suitcases in the trunk.

UPDATE: Ryan Kenneth Schroeder pleaded guilty in Cayman Islands Summary Court July 3 to possession of 0.064 grams of cocaine, as well as consumption of cocaine. His sentencing was set for Sept. 26.
According to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, Mr. Schroeder, 40, was given his U.S. passport and allowed to travel following a July 4 appearance before the Cayman Islands Drug Court. Bail was granted with a cash bond of $8,000 and a local surety of $1,000, according to court records.
The stated purpose of the travel was to undergo drug rehabilitation, after which Mr. Schroeder was expected to return to Cayman to face sentencing.
