Deputies from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department were called to check on the welfare of a mother and her children on Tuesday evening.
Officers arrived at the home in the 4500 block of Olive Road in Plymouth where they reportedly found 28-year-old Joshua Murray with nine children inside the residence. Marijuana, drug paraphernalia and prescription pills were reportedly found in plain view where the children were sleeping.
Murray was taken into custody and booked into the Marshall County Jail on preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and possession of paraphernalia.
The Division of Family and Children assisted the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department in this case.
