Detectives need help solving decades old cold case homicide of Fort Lupton farmer

On Aug. 27, 1986, Gerald J. Dreiling was discovered dead in his home by one of his family members. He had returned home from a family gathering to change the water in an irrigation ditch, and when he did not return to the gathering after an hour, a family member went to check on him. After finding Gerald face down in his house, the family member called 911, and emergency personnel responded. It appeared to detectives Gerald may have interrupted a burglary at his residence, and he was forced to lie prone in a hallway and was shot.

If you have any information about this case, please call our tip line at (970) 304-6464 or email your tip to [email protected] .

Weld County Deputies Arrest Suspect in Criminal Mischief and Trespass Following a Traffic Stop

[Weld County, COLO.] Yesterday, just before 10 a.m. Weld County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies responded to a report of a theft from a business in the 17500 block of Weld County Road 394, near LaSalle, CO.

During the investigation, deputies were able to obtain the suspect’s vehicle description, two digits of the suspect’s vehicle tag, and the suspect’s clothing description through video surveillance footage.

Although no property was reported stolen, the suspect reportedly damaged a section of fence as well as the side entry door and handle of an enclosed trailer on the victim’s property.

Later in the day, just before 1 p.m. deputies spotted a red Jeep that matched the suspect’s vehicle description on Weld County Road 41 just north of Weld County Road 50. Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, and through further investigation, they developed probable cause to arrest the passenger of the vehicle, who was identified as 45-year-old, Ernesto Castanuela.

Castanuela was arrested on suspicion of:
• Criminal Mischief $2,000 - $4,999 Business
• Second Degree Criminal Trespass Intent to Commit

The sheriff's office remains dedicated to addressing and solving property crimes.

All charges are merely accusations, and a defendant is presumed innocent until, or unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Traffic enforcement helps ensure the safety of everyone on our county roads

Yesterday morning, around 6 a.m. a Weld County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputy observed a Jeep driving through the intersection Turner Blvd and Highway 119 near Firestone. The deputy suspected the registered owner of the vehicle had a revoked driver’s license, and he noticed the vehicle registration was expired.

The deputy conducted a traffic stop and contacted the driver and owner of the Jeep, identified as 34‑year‑old Jordan Gonzales.

Through his investigation, the deputy developed probable cause to arrest Gonzales on suspicion of:
• Drove Vehicle When License Is Revoked as Habitual Offender (Traffic)
• Operated Uninsured Motor Vehicle on Public Highway (Traffic)

Keeping our county roads safe starts with effective traffic enforcement.
All charges are merely accusations, and a defendant is presumed innocent until, unless proven guilty in a court of law.
