On July 26, 2025, at 11:19 PM, deputies from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office responded to a suspicious vehicle at the intersection of Humboldt Dr. and Longs Peak Ln. in Canon City, Colorado.

Upon investigation, deputies contacted 49-year-old Amy Michels and 41-year-old Jacob Heuvel, both of Colorado Springs. A search of the vehicle revealed 98 fentanyl pills and 7.5 grams of methamphetamine. 

Both Michels and Heuvel were arrested and booked into the Fremont County Detention Center on multiple charges, including Unlawful Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule I/II Controlled Substances, Unlawful Possession of Schedule I/II Controlled Substances, Second Degree Introduction of Contraband, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Both individuals were released on personal recognizance bonds issued by Magistrate Claire Lebeau.

Sheriff Cooper stated, "These arrests highlight the ongoing concern for community safety, as Colorado judges continue to release offenders back into our communities on personal recognizance bonds, time and time again."

All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
