Alain Desbiens, 40, was at home at his Water Street residence when police made a surprise stop for a compliance check. They found marijuana and some illegal pills in Desbiens’ possession. He is now charged with breach of proba- tion concerning a condition restricting him from use of non-prescribed drugs.
