A Marshall County man faces drug charges after an incident at a Gilbertsville motel.

According to the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the Cinderella Motel Saturday in reference to an unwanted guest. The owner of the motel told deputies that 25-year-old Lawrence A. Hobbs of Calvert City had not paid for his motel stay on Friday and was asked to leave.

The following morning Hobbs was still in his room. Deputies made contact with Hobbs and said he appeared very nervous while speaking with them.

When deputies searched Hobbs, they reportedly found a metal pipe and a black bag containing marijuana in his pocket. Hobbs was placed under arrest and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was booked into the Marshall County Detention Center.
