SYRACUSE — A Syracuse man was arrested on a marijuana dealing charge.

Blaise Ryan Henry, 20, 9940 N. Happiness Drive, Syracuse, is charged with dealing marijuana in an amount in excess of 30 grams, a level 6 felony; possession of marijuana, a class B misdemeanor; and possession of paraphernalia, a class C misdemeanor.

On Dec. 17, 2021, an Indiana State Trooper pulled a vehicle over on SR 13 near CR 1400N in Syracuse. During the traffic stop, the trooper found marijuana in the vehicle.

According to court documents, the vehicle’s driver admitted to purchasing marijuana and THC vape cartridges from a person named “Blaze” at a residence in Syracuse. That same day, the trooper attempted to contact “Blaze” at the home but did not talk with anyone.

On March 15, 2022, the trooper attempted to contact people at the Syracuse home, but nobody answered the door. Before law enforcement left the area, a pizza delivery driver arrived at the home. A woman answered the door for the delivery. The trooper made contact with the woman and could smell marijuana coming from the home. Henry was at the residence and admitted to possessing and recently smoking marijuana, but denied dealing marijuana. Henry and the woman denied consent for law enforcement to search the home.

The trooper was granted a search warrant for the home. Upon searching the residence, officers found marijuana, THC cookies, vape pens, vape cartridges, and glass smoking pipes.

The trooper weighed the marijuana, THC cookies, THC shatter, and vape cartridges; the total weight was 3.5 pounds.

Henry has already been arrested and released on bond.
