Drug Bust in Garfield County

On June 5, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office received a call for a disturbance on Highway 12 near Mile Marker 2. Upon arrival officers observed one man trying to push a red Cadillac, another man in the drivers seat and a woman and juvenile at the scene. While investigating the vehicle, small amounts of Fentanyl was located and one suspect was found to be carrying a concealed weapon.

On further investigation, eight bags with approximately 1,000 pills of Fentanyl each worth about one quarter of a million dollars were located in the trunk of the vehicle. The two male suspects, ages 23 and 24, were taken to the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office for booking and arrest. The female, age 21, was taken to the Garfield County Hospital due to health concerns. The juvenile was transported to the youth facility in Richfield. Charges are pending on all the individuals.
