CHILD ABUSE CHARGES ADDED IN DRUG CASE

 

Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has filed formal charges today in connection with a drug bust at which a baby was present.

 

Sergio Rodriguez-Garza (DOB: 11-20-76) and Marya Nunez-Carrillo (DOB: 08-12-64) are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance (F3), two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute (F3), two counts of possession of a controlled substance (F4) and one count of child abuse (M2).

 

Justin Colson (DOB: 11-30-84), Sergio Gomez (DOB: 01-13-81) and Fabian Chavez (DOB: 08-18-76) are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

 

The charges allege that all five people conspired to sell 1.5 kilograms of cocaine in a drug deal on June 28, 2005 in the 3000 block of West Evans Avenue.  The charges further allege that Rodriguez-Garza and Nunez-Carillo brought Nunez-Carillo’s 3-month old grandson with them to the negotiations and transactions that were part of the drug dealing. 

 

The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Denver Police Department.
