Denver man cought trying to sell drugs

Happy Holidays from the San Luis Valley law enforcement!

The first one on Santa's naughty list got caught. A Denver resident who was allegedly trying to sell drugs, Adrian William Romero, was arrested by an undercover sting operation conducted by the San Luis Valley Drug Task Force.

The suspect was in custody on Dec 22 and more arrests are expected to happen. Romero, 29, allegedly sold about a quarter ounce of cocaine. They also recovered marijuana and other paraphernalia.

While violent crime in San Luis Valley is rare (due to the fact that people live in acres instead of small lots in the cities), it is also difficult for law enforcement to watch the entire territory (it is the largest allpine valley in the world). So they setup sting operations attracting would be drug pushers from other parts of the country to pre-emptively hunt them down.

Good job guys, keep San Luis Valley safe!
