According to a criminal complaint, on Friday, October 19, Sgt. Murray of the Reynoldsville Borough Police Department received a phone call from a concerned citizen who saw a SnapChat in which Kaden Murray and two other juveniles were drinking at a residence on Grant Street in Reynoldsville.
Sgt. Murray responded to the residence and knocked on the door, which was opened by a male. Sgt. Murray noted the male had an odor of an intoxicating beverage coming from his person.
Sgt. Murray asked if she could enter the residence and the man gave her permission. The complaint notes that he and three other juveniles were sitting at a dining room table with open containers of 4 Loco and Bud Light in front of them. Sgt. Murray then explained why she was there and asked them all for identification.
According to the complaint, one of the males, later identified as Kaden Murray, refused to identify himself and became belligerent. For her own safety, Sgt. Murray attempted to place Kaden Murray in handcuffs.
