PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — A man was arrested on warrants, and two people were arrested after drugs were found in their car, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office says the three people were arrested in two separate, unrelated incidents after they were found sleeping in cars at local businesses.
At 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, deputies located a car parked in the Pueblo West Walmart parking lot.
Deputies found the car was registered to 32-year-old Kyle Dailey, who was wanted in Wisconsin on two felony warrants.
The sheriff's office says deputies asked Dailey to get out of the car, but he refused. They say they got Dailey out of the car at taser point and took him into custody. He has been booked into the Pueblo County Jail on the warrants.
Around 3:30 a.m., the sheriff's office says a deputy noticed a car parked at the Loaf N Jug on Highway 96, which is located in the Baxter area.
The sheriff's office says the deputy noticed a man, later identified as 31-year-old Dillon O'Neill of Lamar, and a woman, 27-year-old Marissa Catanese of Cañon City, sleeping in the car.

The deputy approached the car and saw drug paraphernalia inside. The deputy then knocked on the window, and O'Niell told the deputy he and Catanese had stopped to sleep after driving all day from Utah.
According to the sheriff's office, more drug paraphernalia fell from O'Neill's lap, and he admitted to having drugs in the vehicle. Deputies searched the car and found 2.66 grams of fentanyl and 43.67 grams of meth.
