4 arrested in Monument, Colorado

MONUMENT, Colo. — What started as a welfare check in Monument ended with the arrests of four people on charges related to drug possession, guns and stolen vehicles, police said Tuesday.

A news release from the Monument Police Department said officers first responded to 339 Fourth St. on Aug. 31. Subsequent investigations during the next 13 days led to a search of the home on Saturday and ultimately the arrests.

“During the investigation over 6 ounces of methamphetamine was seized which has an approximate street value of $13,000. Other substances seized included psilocybin, heroin, cocaine, items believed to be the product of butane hash oil extraction, and controlled substances in pill form,” the statement said.

Additionally, officers recovered a stolen motorcycle, and another vehicle was recovered and returned to the owner.
