" I'm sorry for the people who had their homes broken in to, and had the items they worked hard to pay for stolen right out from underneath them. I feel sorry they won't feel secure in their own homes ever again and I feel sorry for the ignorant people who post nonsense on these blogs. I think they SHOULD post pictures of thieves, druggies, child molestors and anyone else who poses a threat to ME and MY family. It's hard to spot the wolf in sheeps clothing. "

" Nice picture! He's a good looking boy, you did good Sally and Pete! :-) By the way, the people that complain the most are the usually the worst. It's just that we don't know what skeletons they have in their closets.... "

" So curious, when people have an addiction, an illness, it is the same as someone profiting from a disease. Don't forget the stealing part of this arrest. Who do you blame for that? IT IS 90% THE MONTEZ FAMILYS FAULT. Don't confuse nice people with loads of money for GOOD people. Good people have a conscience. I guess that alot of people were affected by this arrest. The best outcome would be that people couldn't buy drugs thus getting the help they need. "

" I AGREE 100% THAT THEY MUST BE PUNISHED AND PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT TEENAGE KIDS OR ADULTS THEY WERE STILL PURCHASING DRUGS FROM THESE PEOPLE SO THEY ARE JUST AS GUILTY. IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ADDICTION THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO BUY DRUGS FROM THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO THEREFORE THE BUYERS ARE NOT ANY BETTER THAN THE SELLERS. THEY ARE NICE PEOPLE BUT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT AND I AM NOT SAYING WHAT THEY DID IS NICE. "

" "not any single one of you can say that you are perfect"

I can honestly say I've never been stupid enough to steal from anyone, buy, sell or try drugs. So yup, my hands are clean. I am one of the few that I can tell you. Don't make assumptions you cannot back up. It makes you look dumb. "

" If they are so wonderful and are not hiding, why don't they turn themselves in. Surely they know thier are warrants out for them......... I KNOW I KNOW you will say MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS . Theives and drug dealers in our community are our business!!!!!! "

" Yes my kids are my business. Yes they have been punished by the law for their acts. My kids got what they deserved for purchasing drugs. They are also in their teens not adults. Finally if you sell and traffic drugs you deserve what you get. Good people do not steal from other and sell illegal substances. "

" ONCE AGAIN, THEY SOLD DRUGS TO MY KIDS AND MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. WHEN KIDS ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND JR HIGH, PARENTS DON'T ALWAYS KNOW THAT THEY ARE BUYING DRUGS. NOW WE KNOW AND WE ALSO KNOW WHO SOLD THEM. EVERYONE KNOWS TOO. THANK GOD. GOOD PEOPLE OR NOT IS NOT THE ISSUE. YEARS AND YEARS OF DEALING DRUGS AND STEALING IS. SALLY WILL BE PUNISHED ENOUGH WITH HER FAMILY IN JAIL. PEOPLE CAN BLOG ALL THEY WANT ABOUT THE VIRTUES OF THE MONTEZ FAMILY, BUT IT IS TOO LATE. WE KNOW BETTER. "




to Curious and Becca wrote on Oct 22, 2009 12:23 PM:

" Obviously you are standing up for your friends so your perspective is clouded by the facts. People who sell drugs to others are NOT GOOD people. They may be nice to you but they are part of an overall issue with our society and causing so many peoples lives to be ruined. I hope they get the full punishment of the court due to their record and huge risk to our community and our children! "




Curious wrote on Oct 22, 2009 11:29 AM:

" YOUR CHILDREN ARE ALSO YOUR BUSINESS, SO HOW WAS IT THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE BUYING THE DRUGS IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOUR CHILDREN ARE AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE MONTEZ' ARE. YES THEY HAVE DONE WRONG BUT THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN THEM FOR YEARS. YOU SAY IT'S A SHAME THAT THE WIFE AND MOTHER WORKS AT SMS? AT LEAST SHE IS MAKING AN HONEST LIVING. LET'S HOPE JUSTICE IS SERVED BUT REMEMBER THERE ARE ALOT MORE OF THEIR KIND OUT THERE, THEY WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES DOING THIS. "

" When I read the article I believe it said the father and other son still had warrants out on them, doesn't that mean the police have not found them ? And this young man was found-spotted at the local Mexican food place. "

" all of you people commenting bad about any article in the news paper seriousley need to look at your own life and make sure your own hands are clean not any single one of you can say that you are perfect and that you or your family have not done anything bad come on grow up. they knew what they did and sadley now the whole town has to know about it but let them live there lives and keep your nose out of everyones personal life.

" it is about time something has happened to this family. i have seen the number of people that this family have affected. most of the young people that hang out at that house have been to rehab. what a sham it is to have the wife and mother of these three men work at sms. she is just as guilty.

" So what is the point exactly of posting up Matts picture?? Thas is so stupid, such small town BS!! I really dont think this article needed to post his pic up. If you live in Safford than you know who the family members are!! This was basically just an update.....no need for a picture of him!! "

" To those of you who use the couriers comment section to hide your true identity. You are the ones who should be ashamed of yourselves for talking about others. Regardless of what they have done they are still good people. They are not trying to run or hide from the cops. So if they really wanted them they know where to go. They are just trying to make a big thing out of this. "

" Have you ever stopped and looked at her age? Just because she has a ring on each finger does not mean she bought them with drug money. Have you ever thought, gee, maybe she inherited jewelry from her Mother? That they were gifts from sisters, nieces, nephews? Don't judge her because of their crimes. if your family commited a crime would you want to be guilty by association? I dont think so. Dont be so stupid. "




Cuz wrote on Oct 19, 2009 1:01 PM:

" I feel the whole family should get punished for all the crimes. The mother of the two boys always went around dressed to impress and with a gold diamond ring on each finger and thumbs. How else can they afford all of this if not with drug money and stolen property. She wore all the evidence. She should be considered a criminal also. "

" There is only a picture of Matt because he is the only one of the three to be arrested and have his preliminary hearing. The other two, Mark and Pete, have warrants for their arrest but have not been caught yet. "

" We have alleged cahres on three men and there is only a pic on one of them... the courier is a joke, when are you going to have real investigative reporting? The city of Safford is trying to raise fees on all of the things available to the public, maybe they should cut back internally? Two city employees are going to Nashville, staying at the Grand Ole Opry and get to take someone with them??? How much is this costing tax payers?? When my company sends us we stay at a less expensive hotel and have to share rooms. Nowthatiscriminal! "
