Tribue

A Kissimmee man was arrested Wednesday on multiple armed cocaine trafficking charges after authorities seized more than 600 grams of cocaine.

Arrested was Alex Cori Tribue, 28, of Kissimmee.

According to police reports, the department’s Tactical Investigative Unit and the FBI’s Orlando Safe Streets Task Force have been working in conjunction for the past six months investigating the sale of cocaine throughout the Kissimmee area. Through the course of the investigation, the team was able to identify Tribue as the “kingpin” of the narcotics operation, which worked out of apartment communities within the city of Kissimmee, reports said.

On Wednesday, the Kissimmee Police Department’s SWAT, along with Osceola County SWAT and Orange County SWAT served search warrants to apartments in the Arbors of Sendera and Villa Del Sol apartment communities, where Tribue was known to keep drugs and paraphernalia. The items seized during the course of the operation were: 689.4 grams of cocaine, 606.6 grams of marijuana, two stolen semi-automatic handguns and more than $6000.

Tribue was arrested and transported to the Osceola County Jail where he is held on no bond.

“This was a cooperative effort by all agencies involved,” said Chief Lee Massie. “The ability to partner with other agencies and share valuable information is key to getting dealers like Mr. Tribue off the streets of Kissimmee.”
