Evans Man Arrested for Drug Distribution
An Evans man, John Luttrell, found himself in hot water after a routine traffic stop led to a shocking discovery. Police stumbled upon more than 40 grams of methamphetamine and over 300 M-30 pills suspected to contain fentanyl during the incident earlier this month.
Details of the Arrest
The arrest took place on June 10, when an Evans police officer noticed a red Hyundai SUV speeding down Lakeside Drive. The officer eventually located the vehicle parked in front of a house known for its association with narcotics. As the officer continued to observe, the red Hyundai made its way to a motel where the driver, later identified as Luttrell, was seen carrying what appeared to be a black speaker.
Incriminating Evidence
Upon pulling Luttrell over, officers noticed burnt foil on the passenger floorboard, indicating possible drug use. A search of the vehicle uncovered a stash of counterfeit M-30 pills, suspected meth, and various drug paraphernalia. The total haul included 302 M-30 pills weighing 40.3 grams and 40.1 grams of suspected meth.
Account of the Suspect
During questioning at the Evans Police Department, Luttrell claimed the drugs belonged to a woman he knew. He professed ignorance about the contents found in the car, stating he would have informed the woman had he known about the bag in the back.
Legal Proceedings
Luttrell was promptly taken into custody and is currently awaiting a hearing at the Weld County District Court on June 25. The gravity of the charges he faces, including intent to distribute meth and fentanyl, underscores the severity of the situation.
Conclusion
The arrest of John Luttrell serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive issue of drug distribution in our communities. Law enforcement’s vigilance and swift action in apprehending individuals involved in such activities are crucial in maintaining the safety and well-being of the public.
