A four-month long investigation into the sale of methamphetamine and firearms resulted in the seizure of drugs, weapons, cash and property as five people were charged with Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming.
Three pounds of methamphetamine, small amounts of cocaine, prescription opioids, marijuana and marijuana concentrate were seized during the investigation, according to a press release.

Also seized were three motor vehicles, $20,000 in cash and 21 firearms, four of which were used in other crimes.
Kymber Tiernan of Cheyenne Place, Wyoming was arrested in Wyoming and booked into the Laramie County Detention Center. Julio Quintero of Denver, Travis Harre of Denver, Anthony Walters of Loveland and Angela Perez of Loveland were booked into the Larimer County Jail. They have all since posted bond.
“This investigation was successful because of the hard work and cooperation of local, state, and federal agencies all working toward the same goal – reducing the impact of illegal drugs in our communities,” wrote Joe Shellhammer, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office Captain and Northern Colorado Drug Task Force Commander in the release.
The investigation spanned from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Fort Collins, Loveland and Denver. It was led by the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force, the Larimer County District and several other investigation bureaus.
The charges are only an accusation and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
