COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – One of five suspects who were arrested in a drug bust at a residence on South Polk Street in Coldwater last October entered into a plea agreement Monday in Branch County Circuit Court.
29-year-old Lauren Murdock entered a guilty plea to a charge of maintaining a drug house. Prosecutors will dismiss two other charges for possession of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine as well as habitual offender enhancement in exchange for the guilty plea.
Murdock is scheduled to be sentenced May 22, 2017.

They were assisted by the Michigan State Police and the Branch County Sheriff’s Department.
Charges against 25-year-old Cody Edmonds of Burlington were later dropped.
