An Indianapolis man who was serving time in Marion County is now facing high-level charges in Johnson County for dealing heroin.
Baylie Davale Rowe, 25, is charged with dealing cocaine or a narcotic drug, a Level 2 felony; dealing cocaine or a narcotic drug, a Level 4 felony; and driving while suspended, a misdemeanor. He could face up to 43 years in prison if convicted on all counts and ordered to serve consecutive sentences.
Sheriff’s deputies gathered evidence that between June 30 and July 2, Rowe sold more than 17 grams of heroin in the parking lots of fast-food restaurants in Greenwood, near the Main Street interchange of Interstate 65, according to court documents filed Nov. 23 in Johnson County Superior Court 3.
Rowe sold 12.71 grams of heroin for $800 the afternoon of June 30, and another 4.7 grams of heroin for $300 the afternoon of July 2, according to court documents.
State law says dealing a narcotic drug that weighs more than 10 grams constitutes a Level 2 charge, and dealing a narcotic drug that weighs 1-5 grams constitutes a Level 4 charge.
A warrant was issued for Rowe’s arrest Nov. 25, and he was transferred to the Johnson County jail from the Marion County jail Monday evening.
A Marion County judge on Dec. 18 sentenced Rowe to 115 days in the Marion County jail and three years probation for carrying a handgun without a license with a prior conviction, according to online court records. He was arrested for that crime Aug. 26, court records show.
He is being held at the Johnson County jail on $42,000 cash-only bond.
