HUTCHINSON– A former Kansas elementary school counselor entered a plea in the drug distribution case against him Friday.

Terry Lamont McMurry, 49, Hutchinson, entered pleas to possession of cocaine and marijuana, both with intent to distribute, possession of drug proceeds, endangerment of a child and sale of marijuana. As part of a plea agreement, the state dropped two charges for possession of drug paraphernalia and no tax stamp.

Drug Unit Detective Corey Graber testified during the preliminary hearing that the drug unit set 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 led to a search warrant being served on Dec. 16.

The state alleges that between Nov. 1 and Dec. 16, McMurry 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.

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

McMurry was a counselor for Faris Elementary School in Hutchinson.

Sentencing in the case is scheduled for Nov. 4.
