HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man who was charged in a drug distribution case while he was a counselor at a local elementary school was bound over for trial Tuesday.

Forty-nine-year-old Terry Lamont McMurry was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana, both with intent to distribute, possession of drug proceeds, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package and no drug tax stamp.

But, prior to the hearing, Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton announced that he was adding two new counts, including the sale of marijuana and using a communications device to arrange a drug transaction. He also told the court that a plea offer was made in the case, but was declined by the defense. Stanton wanted the defendant informed that they wouldn’t make an offer again.

The hearing started with Drug Unit Detective Corey Graber describing the drug unit setting up a controlled buy from McMurry using an informant with a listening device. The actual transaction occurred at a local Kwik Shop on Nov. 5, 2015. That then led to the eventual search warrant being served on Dec. 16, 2015.

The state alleges that between Nov. 1 and Dec. 16, 2015, he was selling the drugs from his home in the 1600 block of Aurora.

They allegedly found marijuana and cocaine inside the home packaged for sale, packaging material, scales and cash. Marijuana was also found in McMurry’s Mustang and crack cocaine was found in his Mercedes convertible. Three Mercedes cars and the Mustang were seized during that search.

A 2-month-old baby was also at the residence and was taken into custody by law enforcement.

He was a school counselor at Faris Elementary School at the time of his arrest.

McMurry is free on bond and with Judge Joe McCarville finding probable cause to send the case to trial, he’ll be arraigned on the charges on Aug. 1.
