Cheyenne Police have charged Carol Blohm-Aguilar with multiple felonies following a traffic stop that produced the seizure of over two pounds of suspected drugs on Interstate 25. The arrest stems from an encounter on Oct. 23 south of the city, where officers discovered substantial quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamine in a Subaru.
The incident began when a patrol officer observed a vehicle with temporary Colorado registration. The registration was expired, prompting a standard traffic stop. During the interaction, the officer detected the smell of marijuana inside the car. A K-9 unit sniffed the vehicle, and the positive alert provided probable cause for a search.
Officers found 565 grams of fentanyl, 453 grams of methamphetamine, two grams of heroin, and 10 grams of marijuana. They also recovered a digital scale with drug residue on it. Police determined the amounts of fentanyl and methamphetamine exceeded typical personal use quantities, leading to trafficking charges.
Blohm-Aguilar, born in 1965, faces two felony possession charges and two trafficking charges for the fentanyl and methamphetamine. She also faces misdemeanor possession charges for the heroin and marijuana. Each felony possession charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. The two trafficking charges each carry a potential 20-year penalty.
Upon entering Laramie County Circuit Court, a judge set her cash bond at $100,000. She is presumed innocent until a plea or verdict is entered. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4 in District Court.
