Overview
- Blaine, 65, was arrested in a Houston elementary school parking lot after agreeing to meet who he believed was a 13-year-old following Friday's undercover messages sent from the child's phone.
- He faces a second-degree felony charge of online solicitation of a minor with bond set at $200,000 by the 184th District Court.
- Constable Mark Herman said Blaine is known to local children as the “Candyman” for handing out candy, and detectives are probing whether he targeted others.
- Because the first contact happened in The Woodlands’ Grogan’s Mill, Harris County Precinct 4 is coordinating with Montgomery County Precinct 3.
- At a Monday news conference, officials publicly identified Blaine and urged parents to review kids’ online contacts and report any interaction with him to law enforcement.
