OBION COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — The man accused of murdering four people and abandoning a baby will be moved to a state prison ahead of his trial, according to CBS affiliate WREG.

Drummond was in court earlier this week according to WREG as officials stated they are unable to keep him at the Obion County Sheriff’s Office because of repeated disruptions.

Drummond has been housed in the county jail since early August.

Nashville's skyline looks drastically different than when I came to NewsChannel 5 in 1993. A lot of those changes have happened in just the last several years, and the skyline continues to grow. Sky 5 and several viewers have been able to visually document it. I love Austin's look back!
