Major drug bust, stolen IDs, and protection order violations highlight busy week
Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) officers responded to a wide variety of incidents last week, resulting in 124 arrests across 1,458 calls for service. From narcotics to restraining order violations, the latest service snapshot shows that while Fort Collins remains a relatively safe community, serious offenses continue to challenge local law enforcement.
Drug Bust Leads to Multiple Felony Charges
In one incident, officers were called to a local business where two individuals had been repeatedly trespassing. Upon investigation:
- One suspect was found with 51 fentanyl pills, user amounts of additional narcotics, and had an active warrant.
- The second suspect had drug distribution materials, as well as 11 stolen financial devices and personal IDs tied to four victims.
Both were arrested and booked into the Larimer County Jail.
Restraining Order Violation Ends in Arrest
In another case, a woman contacted FCPS to report that her ex-boyfriend—who was under a protection order—had violated the order by calling her, showing up at her home the previous night, and returning again the next day. Officers arrived and arrested the man, who was also booked into the Larimer County Jail for violating a protection order.
Traffic Stop Uncovers Multiple Violations
FCPS officers responding to a traffic collision discovered the at-fault driver:
- Had no insurance
- Was driving an unregistered vehicle
- Held a suspended license
- Had an active warrant for arrest
The vehicle was towed, and the man was arrested and cited for multiple violations before being booked into jail.
