Report of activity at vacant house leads to four arrests and drug charges

A report of suspicious activity at a vacant home in Marshall County led to the arrest of four people and drug charges.

Marshall County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home on Bill Hammel Lane on Friday at about 8:15 p.m. Witnesses reported individuals taking items out of a vacant home. Deputies found four people at the home: 36-year-old Casey W. Jones of Benton, 45-year-old Shannon D. Wynn of Benton, 45-year-old John R. Kimberlin of Draffenville, and 44-year-old Amy C. Martin of Benton. Among the four, they also located methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, and marijuana. Jones was also reportedly in possession of a handgun, even though he had prior felonies.

Jones was charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Wynn and Martin were charged with possession of meth, while Jones and Wynn also were in possession of psilocybin mushrooms. Martin was additionally charged with possession of marijuana. Kimberlin was charged with tampering with physical evidence.

All four were booked into the Marshall County Detention Center.
