7/21/2026 - Topaha remains in custody with a $5000 cash/surety bond.  He is scheduled to appear at 1pm for a hearing on bond in case 26CR123.

The Cortez Police Department has arrested Deion Topaha for his alleged involvement in the July 19 burglary at the Quality Inn and for matching the description of one of the suspects in a menacing case involving six victims reported earlier in the evening. Surveillance video from the hotel showed two male suspects entering the office and taking cash from the register before leaving westbound. Witnesses from the earlier incident described two males involved, and video from the burglary later showed the suspects wearing the same clothing when they contacted Ezekial Holley and Dieon Topaha.
Deion was arrested without incident and transported to SW Memorial Hospital for a medical clearance before being left in custody of the Montezuma County Jail. He will appear in the Montezuma County Combined Courts this afternoon at 1pm in case #26CR123
