MONTE VISTA — Two people were jailed on several drug charges by the Monte Vista Police Department on March 26.

On Tuesday, MVPD officers attempted to stop a vehicle driven by Austin Villagomez, 30, Alamosa. Officers were aware that Villagomez had two outstanding felony warrants and was a suspect in a robbery, MVPD reported.

Villagomez refused to stop the vehicle, resulting in a pursuit. During the pursuit, Villagomez never drove above 40 mph and eventually stopped where he was taken into custody, MVPD reported. At the time of the stop, his passenger, Delydia Naranjo, 49, Monte Vista, was questioned and released.

Investigation by detectives resulted in a search warrant being executed in the 600 block of Morton Street where officers located fentanyl, methamphetamine and two weapons. The drugs and weapons were stored in an area where a young child had access to them, MVPD reported.

Naranjo was also arrested on numerous charges, including suspicion of special offender, unlawful distribution of meth, unlawful distribution of fentanyl, child abuse and unlawful storage of a firearm.

Villagomez was arrested on the original two outstanding warrants and other charges, including suspicion of special offender, unlawful distribution of meth, unlawful distribution of fentanyl, possession of weapon by previous offender, obstructing a peace officer, eluding a peace officer and driving under restraint.

Both Villagomez and Naranjo were booked into the Rio Grande County Jail.

The Monte Vista Police Department was assisted by the Rio Grande Sheriff’s Office in the apprehension of Villagomez and by the Colorado State Patrol with the search warrant.
