Drugged Driving & Child Porn Possession Arrests

Patrol Makes Separate, Recent Arrests

Micah Hopkins, 29, of GJ
Mesa County, Colo. -- On Saturday, patrol deputies responded to a parent's call of her teen receiving nude photos of a local 29-year-old man, through social media. Deputies contacted the suspect, identified as Micah Hopkins, of Grand Junction, and ultimately booked him into the Mesa County Detention Facility on one count of sexual exploitation of a child--possession.

Micah was issued a $3,000 PR bond on Monday, and was released from the jail. His next court date is scheduled for April 21, 2015, at 8 a.m.

Yesterday morning, a patrol deputy in training was in the area of a possible drunk driver called into dispatch. The deputy and his training officer, witnessed driving behavior that coincide with the report to dispatch and ultimately conducted a traffic stop. Ryah Hollandsworth, 21, of Grand Junction was the driver and only occupant of the vehicle. She did not complete roadside maneuvers successfully and was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs.
