PUEBLO COUNTY, COLO. -- Pueblo County Sheriff's deputies arrested three men on drugs and guns charges over the weekend.

Deputies responded to a shots fired call in a remote area of Pueblo County and pulled a car over with five people inside Friday morning.  During the search of the car, deputies found two guns, one of which fell out as one of the suspects was getting out of the car, and "crack" cocaine.

They arrested 24-year-old Jesus Valdez, 19-year-old Ray Aragon and 24-year-old William Sanchez Friday. Two others were questioned and released.

Deputies then got a warrant for a hotel room on Elizabeth Drive and found four more funs, more cocaine and several thousand dollars in cash. They estimated the street value of the cocaine at $30,000.

Valdez faces weapons, possession, intent to distribute and protection order violation charges. Aragon faces firearms and theft charges, and Sanchez faces a possession charge.
