MDMA PILLS AND $52,000 IN A ZIPLOC BAG<\/strong>
On Oct. 21 a trooper with Colorado State Patrol pulled over a Toyota 4Runner along Interstate 70 at the No Name exit in Glenwood Canyon for speeding.<\/p>\n

While speaking with the 38-year-old driver, the trooper detected a \u201cmasking agent either cologne or air freshener\u201d emanating from the vehicle according to the arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n

The subject informed the trooper of roughly an ounce of marijuana in his possession and stated that he was traveling back to California from \u201cDenver-Fort Morgan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[The 38-year-old] seemed to think these cities were one in the same,\u201d the trooper noted in the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Upon informing the driver \u201cit was not very smart to be transporting marijuana through Utah,\u201d the man stated he \u201cthought it was legal everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The driver whose right hand was \u201cshaking uncontrollably\u201d and appeared \u201cvery nervous\u201d also could not provide a license.<\/p>\n

Due to the 38-year-old\u2019s suspicious behavior, a K9 officer with the Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s Department arrived on scene and gave a positive alert toward the vehicle\u2019s rear cargo area.<\/p>\n

Upon conducting a probable cause search, the trooper disassembled a speaker\/subwoofer box in the Toyota 4Runner\u2019s rear. Inside of the box the trooper located a tightly wrapped package with pills as well as a Ziploc bag \u201cfull of a significant amount of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other than stating they were not prescription, the driver claimed not to know what type of pills were in the package.<\/p>\n

The total weight of the pills and packaging material was over 119 grams and tested presumptive positive for MDMA also commonly referred to as as ecstasy or molly.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the driver stated that he had worked for the $52,000 in the Ziploc bag.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old man was later booked into the Garfield County Jail on charges of possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance with intent and speeding.<\/p>\n

METH IN A $5 BILL<\/strong>
On Oct. 18 at approximately 12:50 p.m. an officer with the New Castle Police Department noticed a man walking near Alder Ridge who had an active misdemeanor warrant out of Garfield County.<\/p>\n

Upon telling the subject that he needed to speak with him, the 38-year-old man purportedly asked the officer, \u201cif it could be another time because he had to go to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

After informing the man of his active warrant, he became \u201cargumentative\u201d according to the arrest affidavit and stated that he had already seen his probation officer that day.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old was arrested and while searching him the officer located a folded $5 bill that contained \u201ca small baggie with a white cloudy crystalized substance.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the arrest affidavit the substance turned positive for methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

The suspect was later transported to the Garfield County Jail where he was booked on a previous warrant in addition to possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n
