Police Find Two Nitrous Tanks, Marijuana in Greenfield Man's Home

A 23-year-old Greenfield man is facing charges after police found marijuana and two nitrous oxide tanks inside his home.

Shane R. Rady was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Thursday with one count of possession of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and one count of possession of nitrous oxide with intent to inhale. If convicted, he faces up to 15 months in prison and $11,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

Police were called to Rady’s residence in the 5000 block of Greenbrook Terrace Tuesday after a woman called 911, and said “please help me” to the operator. Police knocked on the door and then forced their way inside after Rady and his girlfriend refused to answer.

Police smelled marijuana in the residence and his girlfriend admitted they were smoking the drug earlier and handed police a pipe. Police further searched the residence and found more marijuana in a jacket and two tanks of nitrous oxide.

Rady told police he’s addicted to nitrous and “huffs” on the tanks regularly.

He was assigned a $100 signature bond Friday.
