46-Year-Old Cheyenne Man Gets Federal Prison On Drug, Weapons Charges

A 46-Year-old Cheyenne man has been sentenced to federal prison on drug trafficking and weapons charges that grew out of a traffic stop by Cheyenne Police.

That's according to the Cheyenne Police Department via Facebook and a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for Wyoming.

Case Grew Out Of A Traffic Stop

The Facebook post says Cheyenne Police stopped Salvador Collard of Cheyenne on Sept. 2, 2025 for a traffic violation. Police say he was acting erratically  and didn't follow police commands, behavior that led to a search of his vehicle. The search turned up "large quantities of fentanyl pills and methamphetamine, along with drug paraphernalia, cash, and distribution-related items." The post says officers also found loaded firearms, including  a handgun and a shotgun along with ammunition. Collard was a convicted felon and could not legally possess firearms.
