I have been to Montrose, my college roomy lives there now. It is a VERY SMALL TOWN. Lori describes it as "Little House on the Prairie with a walmart". There is NO WAY the entire town is not affected. I have an email out to Lori about this case as she and her husband own one of the two tow truck companies in town just to see if she knows something that is not in print.
WHY IN THE WORLD WAS THIS MAN NOT DEPORTED YEARS AGO?

MONTROSE — An Olathe man suspected of killing his son and injuring four others Sunday in a traffic crash was highly intoxicated, prosecutors said.

Juan Prieto-Gonzalez, 32, had a blood alcohol content of .257, the district attorney’s office said.

According to Montrose Combined Court and Colorado Bureau of Investigation records, Prieto-Gonzalez also has a lengthy criminal history, replete with nearly a dozen aliases, and a prison record for impersonation. He also has previous DUI and other traffic convictions.

Prieto-Gonzalez is accused of running a stop sign at 54.00 Road and Highway 348 in Olathe Sunday afternoon, and crossing directly into the path of a 1996 Suburban driven by J. Merced Perez-Gonzales of Delta.

The Suburban hit the Camaro’s right side, where Prieto-Gonzalez’s son, José Juan Prieto, was a passenger.

Montrose County Coroner Dr. Thomas Canfield said José died instantly of head and neck injuries. He gave the child’s date of birth as Nov. 4, 2000; the state patrol listed it as Nov. 11, 2001.

Perez-Gonzales, 53, sustained serious injuries, as did his passengers, 3-year-old Cesar Gonzales and 2-year-old Araceli Gonzales. Another passenger, Aurelia Gonzales, 42, was treated and released.

Responding CSP Trooper Darel Reed said the crash brought nearby residents to their doors and to the scene, where several tried to help.

He said scene investigation was going to take some time, but it appeared as though Prieto-Gonzalez was traveling at a high rate of speed and did not slow down.

“It’s tough to put a speed on it right now, because I have a lot of reconstruction on it. There was no braking prior to the stop sign,â€
