The offenses stem from a March 2016 incident in which Newport Patrol Officers made a traffic stop. Kasey Murphy, 23, Virginia Street, Newport is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell and deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts each of child abuse and neglect (under the age of 6) and cruelty to animals. Murphy's children, aged one and three, were found walking in the street on Dec. 13, 2016, by Newport Captain Amy Gentry. Passing motorists said the boys tried to get into their car when they stopped to check on the welfare of the children. Upon further investigation, the officers found a malnourished and severely neglected dog chained up outside the home. Roy Darnell,49, Piney Grove Road, Greeneville, is charged with solicitation of a minor. In November, 2017, Sheriff Armando Fontes arrested Darnell after he allegedly made sexual advances toward a minor female resident of Cocke County. Following the initial contact, with the consent of the girl's parents, officers used her Facebook account to communicate with the suspect. Over the course of the investigation James informed the child he would bring his horses to Newport, they could go horseback riding and take a long break for sexual activity. Detective Michael Stallings with the Jefferson City Police Department who specializes in Internet crimes, participated in arranging for Darnell to come to Cocke County to meet the girl.
