A 28-year-old Army soldier has been accused of drug-related charges following a federal raid on an alleged illegal nightclub in Colorado on Sunday, where authorities claim he provided security and more than a dozen other troops were present.

The charges against Staff Sgt. Juan Gabriel Orona-Rodriguez, who is assigned to Fort Carson, Colorado, were made public Thursday. He’s accused of one count each of distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine, as well as conspiracy to distribute cocaine, according to federal court documents.

Notably, the case against Orona-Rodriguez predated Sunday’s raid led by the Drug Enforcement Administration at a Colorado Springs nightclub not far from Fort Carson. The staff sergeant was allegedly a part of a security company that provided armed guards at the nightclub.

“Orona-Rodriguez appears to hold a leadership role in a business called Immortal Security LLC, which provides armed security at ‘nightclubs’ — including an afterhours, unlawful nightclub called Warike — within Colorado Springs, Colorado,” a news release from the U.S Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado said.

The statement said he was “one of approximately 17 active-duty U.S. Army service members present at Warike during the execution of that search warrant.”

The Colorado Springs Police Department allegedly has received 911 calls related to Warike in the past, including weapons violations, assault, narcotics and other violent crime, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

An FBI agent detailed in court documents after speaking with DEA agents that they “believe employees of Immortal Security are involved in drug distribution and that employees of Immortal Security are carrying firearms while providing security at Warike and similar establishments.”

Orona-Rodriguez, according to information from the Army Criminal Investigation Division detailed in court documents, received a developmental counseling form from his commanding officer earlier this year and was told at that time that the security company was “off limits to members of the armed forces.”

Bridget Ann Serchak, a spokesperson for the Army CID, told Military.com the division is “aware of this matter and is currently conducting a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)” but added they “are unable to provide further information at this time.”

A Fort Carson official told Military.com they were aware of the FBI investigation and that with the help of Army CID, they took one of the base’s soldiers into custody. Vikki Migoya, an FBI Denver spokesperson, told Military.com in an emailed statement that they “facilitated the arrest Wednesday evening.”

“The charges in the complaint are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Migoya added.

A call to Orona-Rodriguez’s federal defender’s office went unanswered.

Orona-Rodriguez was accused of selling cocaine to an undercover DEA agent last week, the news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office detailed.

A subsequent search warrant for the soldier’s phone allegedly found text messages from 2024 and this year that “appear to show him repeatedly purchasing cocaine and selling it to others,” the U.S. attorney’s office in Colorado said in the news release.

The soldier is “also suspected of unlawfully trafficking firearms, including those with high-capacity magazines” to illegal migrants, according to court documents.
