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.
