A search warrant served May 4 in Breckenridge led to accrual of a quarter pound of cocaine and the arrest of two brothers, according to the Summit County Drug Task Force.
Officers arrested brothers Reginaldo Lopez-Santiago, 24, and Eliseo Lopez-Santiago, 20, after a search warrant was served at the Gold Camp II condominiums on Ski Hill Road.
Reginaldo is charged with possession with intent to distribute the 85.6 grams found at the residence in addition to 14.1 grams task force members purchased during three controlled buys, according to the task force.
Eliseo is charged with possession and intent to distribute 14 grams.
Authorities collected a total of 113.7 grams of cocaine including the controlled buys and warrant, and $891 was found and collected at the condominium.
The investigation, executed over the past two weeks, resulted from a crime-stoppers tip received in early April, said task force director and Summit County undersheriff Derek Woodman.
Woodman said cocaine possession and distribution in Summit County is an “ongoing situation” that doesn’t fluctuate with the seasons.
“(It’s) pretty bad,” he said. “In the last probably five search warrants we’ve done in the past eight weeks, we’ve gotten more than 10 ounces of cocaine — in search warrants and purchasing.”
