Pueblo police and the DEA arrested Andres Montour, 45, on Tuesday after a six-month investigation into alleged cocaine and crack cocaine distribution across Pueblo County.
Reporter Cleo Westin, writing in the Gazette from a department news release, said officers took in a "large-scale distributor" of cocaine and crack across the county. Pueblo police, the DEA, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office simultaneously served search warrants at seven residences and on several vehicles while Montour was taken into custody on Nov. 10.
A Scale for the Drugs, Not the Cash
Investigators reported seizing 38,000 grams of cocaine — 84 pounds — five pistols, two rifles, one shotgun and four vehicles. The cash was logged only as a large, undetermined amount. The cocaine got a number. The money did not.
The release framed the case as countywide distribution of both cocaine and crack. What agents said they weighed, though, was cocaine. No street value was attached to the 84 pounds, and the cash figure was left blank on purpose, or at least left blank in the public account.
Another Pueblo File, Not This One
This warrant service is its own case. Separately, the Pueblo Chieftain reported in September 2025 that a five-week FBI and Pueblo Police Department operation produced 20 arrests, with dozens of firearms and large quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl seized. That was a different cast, a different drug mix and a five-week clock, not a six-month one.
"The Kidd," and a Bond Still Open
Court records list Montour as "The Kidd." A Pueblo County judge advised him of his rights on Thursday. Bond was set at $75,000. As of Friday afternoon, he had not posted it.
