SandBoxBlogs: Pueblo Chieftain "Man arrested with 3 1/2 kilos of coke "

(See related to post comment story here)

Gosh...wonder which source access he uses.  A Mexican drug cartel or Hezbollah?  Or (shudders...gasps...dare she say it?)  Americans? 

"A  man was arrested Friday in possession of 3 1/2 kilograms of cocaine, police said.

Louis P. Figueroa, 32, was arrested after trying to hide from police on a roof in the 2200 block of East Evans Avenue.

The cocaine Figueroa reportedly had is worth more than $663,000, an affidavit by narcotic Detective Mark Bravo said.

Police on Friday had been surveilling Figueroa's home, located in the 2100 block of Wyoming Avenue, when they saw him leave with a brown duffle bag.

The affidavit said narcotic detectives were walking up to talk to him when he fled in a car, nearly hitting Detective John Guerrero, who responded by firing a shot at the car.

Patrol officers soon located Figueroa on Evans Avenue hiding on a roof.

Two houses down, police located the brown bag, which contained the bricks of coke.

The affidavit said police found $9,000 in cash in Figueroa's car and a 20-ton hydraulic press in his basement that is believed to be used in packaging kilos of cocaine.

Figueroa was being held in Pueblo County jail without bail pending a court appearance."

"Unapologetically pursuing and tracking patterns within the news others make since 2010."
