During this traffic stop, the sheriff’s office said another vehicle arrived near the scene and committed a traffic violation in doing so, law enforcement made contact with that driver and it was discovered that Loya was traveling with the second vehicle. The driver of that vehicle was 38-year-old Patrick Snyder, also of Loveland, Colo.
During the course of the investigation the Merrick County K-9 was deployed and a subsequent search was conducted. Between the two vehicles over 430 suspected fentanyl pills, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and a loaded handgun were located and seized.
