On Wednesday, November 19, 2008, at 1:00 p.m., North Metro Task Force detectives, with the assistance of the Adams County Sheriff's Office SWAT team and the Brighton Police Department, executed a search warrant at Advanced Performance & Sound, 61 S. Cabbage Ave., in the City of Brighton.
The execution of this search warrant was the culmination of a seven month investigation into the dealing of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine within the City of Brighton.
As a result of the search, 74.21 grams of cocaine and 1,872.36 grams of marijuana were seized.
Benito Barron, DOB: 12/09/71, a Brighton resident and owner of Advanced Performance & Sound, Inc. and his wife, Florence Martinez, DOB: 09/30/71 were arrested and lodged at the Adams County Jail. During the execution of the search warrant, three other parties received summonses for interference with a police officer.
In the course of this seven month investigation, North Metro Task Force detectives made several purchases of both cocaine and methamphetamine from Benito Barron. It is hoped this investigation and arrests will have a significant impact on the availability of illegal narcotics in the City of Brighton.
