Man arrested, drugs seized

FREMONT — A Fremont man is facing multiple felonies after police officers executed three search warrants earlier this past week. Christopher D. Henderson, Jr., 36, of the 400 block of N. Wood St., is facing one count of first-degree felony drug possession, one third-degree felony count of having weapons while under disability and one first-degree felony count of drug trafficking. On Tuesday, multiple local and federal agencies raided two homes and a storefront, according to a Fremont police press release. At the first home, Henderson's North Wood Street abode, officers seized a firearm, currency and more than a pound of cocaine. Officers also raided a home in the 500 block of S. Front St. No evidence was seized at the home, the release states. The home is also associated with Henderson. A search of a storefront in the 100 block of N. Arch St. was also conducted. Officers seized less than 50 grams of crack cocaine and some drug paraphernalia, the release states. Henderson was arrested and taken to Sandusky County Jail. He has since been released on a $230,000 bond. He was ordered to remain in his home and only leave for court and attorney meetings, according to court records. He has a 9 a.m. hearing Monday in Fremont Municipal Court. "The Sandusky County Drug Task Force remains committed to working collaboratively with our law enforcement partners and the community to improve public safety and combat drug-related crime," the press release states. The operation was carried out by the task force, Fremont police, agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Sandusky County Sheriff's Office.
