OPNET arrests Sequim man

SEQUIM — A Sequim man has been arrested for investigation of heroin sales.

Theodore Henry Blahm, 35, was arrested today by officers with the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET) outside his apartment in the 300 block of South Sunnyside Avenue, said Chief Deputy Brian King of the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, who is the narcotics team commander.

Blahm was booked into the Clallam County jail on two counts of delivery of a controlled substance. No bond had been set today.

His arrest was a result of an OPNET investigation in which probable cause was developed that Blahm delivered heroin to OPNET on two occasions in September, King said.

OPNET was assisted by members of the Sequim Police Department and Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.

The case is being forwarded to the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for a formal charging decision, King said.
