Six-Month Narcotics Investigation Leads to Arrest, Seizure of Nearly 85 Pounds of Cocaine  

A six-month narcotics investigation led by the Pueblo Police Department Special Investigations Division, with assistance from Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Task Force Officers, resulted in the arrest of Andres Montour and the seizure of over 84 pounds of cocaine on November 10, 2026.

Investigators identified Montour as a suspected large-scale distributor of cocaine and crack cocaine in Pueblo County. The investigation led investigators to seven residential locations and several vehicles connected to the operation. Detectives secured search warrants for all seven residences and an arrest warrant for Montour.

“This arrest is a testament to great investigative work and cross-agency collaboration to protect Puebloans from the real dangers of large-scale drug distribution,” said Pueblo Police Department Chief Chris Noeller. “Our narcotics detectives worked closely with other agencies to coordinate a highly technical simultaneous warrant execution and delivered with a safer outcome for our community from cocaine distribution and weapons. I’m thankful for our partners and for the diligent, skilled work of our officers.”

The Pueblo Police SWAT, DEA Special Response Team, Colorado Bureau of Investigations Special Response Team and Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office SWAT simultaneously executed the search warrants. Montour was taken into custody during the operation. Searches recovered over 38,000 grams of cocaine, five pistols, two rifles, one shotgun and a large, undetermined amount of U.S. currency. Four vehicles were also seized as part of the investigation.

The investigation involved thousands of hours of work by Special Investigations Division detectives, with assistance from the DEA and support from ATF, CBI and PCSO. 

“No matter the neighborhood, no matter the city, our DEA agents will continue to pursue and arrest those possessing and distributing illegal narcotics,” said Drug Enforcement Administration Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge Mark Putnam. “Our thanks to the Pueblo Police Department, the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, and other partners for an impactful and successful week of operations.”

Montour was booked into county jail on the arrest warrant and will face additional narcotics- and firearm-related charges stemming from the items recovered during the searches.

All parties considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
