Colorado Springs Published 197 day(s) ago

A man convicted of one of the most notorious murders in Colorado Springs history is in trouble again, less than a year after he was released on parole.

Jeron Grant was arrested last Wednesday after police pulled him over for a traffic violation and allegedly found illegal drugs they believe he was planning to sell.

Grant was convicted in the 1997 double homicides of 13-year old Andrew Westbay and 15-year-old Scott Hawrysiak. He was given parole for good behavior last August.

Grant will be in court Wednesday on the drug charges.
