PUEBLO COUNTY — A man was arrested Thursday for selling marijuana to middle school students, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
This came after a months-long investigation, which started from a tip the sheriff's office received about a man, later identified as 24-year-old Quentin Marcellus Goodman-Reynolds, selling marijuana to students.
While investigating, the sheriff's office says they learned Goodman-Reynolds was contacting students through social media to make the sales.
According to the sheriff's office, detectives arranged an undercover buy with Goodman-Reynolds in Pueblo West. When Goodman-Reynolds arrived, he was taken into custody without incident.
Goodman-Reynolds was booked into the Pueblo County Jail for the following charges:
- distribution of marijuana/marijuana concentrate
- contributing to the delinquency of a minor
- special offender
- protection order violation
The sheriff's office says detectives seized Goodman-Reynolds' vehicle and are working on getting a search warrant. Depending on what detectives find, more charges could be added.
Pueblo County Sheriff David Lucero released the following statement regarding this incident:
"Our detectives did a great job investigating this case, identifying the suspect and making an arrest. This is worrisome that someone is taking advantage of our youth like this. We urge parents to be proactive, be engaged and find out what their kids are doing and who they are communicating with."
