Greeley man takes plea deal for selling marijuana to a minor

GREELEY — A Greeley man accused of selling marijuana to a 14-year-old boy reached a deal Monday with the Weld District Attorney’s Office.

Andrew Lee Blaine, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal attempt to contribute to the delinquency of a minor, a felony. He is scheduled for sentencing at 9:30 a.m. July 24 before Weld District Court Judge Timothy Kerns.

The original counts of distributing marijuana to a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor were dropped as part of a plea deal with the district attorney’s office. The boy is not being identified because he is younger than 18.

On Dec. 10, Blaine was working at an Evans truck stop when the boy arrived to buy snacks. Blaine was working the cash register and asked the boy if he was buying junk food because he had the “munchies.” The boy told Blaine he didn’t use marijuana, but Blaine decided to give the boy his number in case he decided he wanted to try the drug, according to court records.

Later that day, the boy called Blaine about making a deal.
