Vaccine storage: There is ample, appropriate storage capacity for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, Montrose County and hospital officials confirmed. "Our vaccines are being held at the hospital. They have plenty of physical space to hold thousands of vaccines," Montrose County Public Health Director Jim Austin said. Drugs seized leads to arrest: Almost one year after allegedly delivering close to a gram of cocaine to a confidential informant working with the 7th Judicial District Drug Task Force, a Denver-area man was arrested on suspicion of selling close to a half kilo. Bernardo Ontiveros-Aguero (also identified in documents as Ontiveros-Aglero), was arrested Jan. 19 on suspicion of drug distribution and is also accused as a special offender because conspiracy to sell drugs is alleged.
