COLORADO SPRINGS — El Paso County authorities say they’ve arrested two men after finding 300 illegal marijuana plants, firearms and nine emaciated puppies on three properties.

KOAA-TV sheriff’s deputies and police executed search warrants for the properties near the Pueblo County line.

Thirty-year-old Abdiel Delgado and 44-year-old Elieser Curbelo were booked into county jail for investigation of marijuana-related offenses.

It wasn’t immediately known if the pair had defense attorneys. A status hearing in Curbelo’s case was set for Aug. 8.

The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region was caring for the puppies.
