Mr Tuatoo was arrested in last Thursday's drug raids but an arrest warrant was not ready by the expiration of the 48 hour limit for a suspect to be held without being charged.
It's believed that he was let out Saturday and sometime over the weekend he left the island.
Acting Commissioner Falana'ipupu Sagapolutele hadn't responded to KHJ News but has told a freelance journalist from Samoa that Mr Tuatoo was likely to have left the island.
