ARREST DOPE PEDDLING SUSPECT IN 'MAJOR' NARCOTICS HAUL


Elijah Archuleta, 23, was arrested on drug peddling charges in what the Colorado Bureau of Investigation describes as a "major narcotics seizure," officials said Tuesday.

Local police and state agents confiscated 110 grams of cocaine, 2,730 fentanyl pills and $1,680 cash. 

Archuleta - who was on probation for a weapons offense - was busted Nov. 20 on Santa Fe Avenue in La Junta in southeast Colorado.

"
Authorities stress that individuals involved in illegal drug distribution and possessing a violent criminal past pose a serious threat to public safety," officials said. "This operation underscores the commitment of the La Junta Police Department and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to disrupting the narcotics supply chain."
