GREELEY, Colorado (CBS4) – Greeley Police arrested a 26-year-old man for selling large quantities of illegal drugs in the area. They say they received information about Andrew Durdy in June 2021.
A month later, undercover investigators began buying the narcotics from Durdy. The investigation lasted about three months. Officials say Durdy sold them methamphetamine and fake “M-30” pills containing fentanyl.
