Drug Task Force Indicts Three on Drug and
Firearms Charges
Montrose, CO — An extensive law enforcement operation involving numerous agencies and targeted members of a drug-trafficking organization responsible for the distribution of multiple kilograms of methamphetamine, resulted in three arrests late last week.
The indictment named Adam Livermore, Jonas Najar Jr., and Angela Schmid on charges related to the distribution of methamphetamine, possession of firearms by prohibited persons, as well as conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Livermore and Najar Jr. were taken into custody on October 8, 2020 without incident while Schmid was already in custody on an unrelated matter.
Cases such as these show the outcome of numerous agencies coming together to work toward a common goal in keeping our community safe. The Seventh Judicial District Drug Task Force would like to express our gratitude to the Colorado State Patrol, United States Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Montrose County Sheriff’s Office for their partnerships and unwavering dedication to public safety in our communities.
