A Bloomfield woman arrested last Friday is accused of contributing to the delinquency of two minors for allegedly providing and smoking marijuana with two juveniles.

Kimberly Renee Gray, 33, Bloomfield, was arrested by Deputy Harvey Holt of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department last Friday, August 28. She was booked into the Greene County Jail at 1:45 p.m.

Gray is facing two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Both of these counts are a Level 6 felony. She’s also being charged with possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor.

Gray was arrested on a warrant issued last Thursday, August 27, after an investigation by Lt. Marvin Holt of the Bloomfield Police Department that started on July 21 after a parent reported an incident involving Gray and two juveniles allegedly occurred on July 20.

Lt. Holt was dispatched to speak to the parent of one of the juveniles who explained their juvenile child had visited a friend, who was a niece of Gray, at Gray’s home on Nancy Avenue in Bloomfield the night before. The parent said when he walked into Gray’s home, it was filled with smoke and he saw the two juveniles and Gray in the front room smoking marijuana.

Lt. Holt then talked to Gray and both juveniles in separate interviews, more than once to confirm their stories. During these interviews, Lt. Holt heard that on the evening in question, one of the juveniles was intoxicated after drinking Captain Morgan taken from a parent’s home, and according to both of the juveniles, they had gone to church in Loogootee with Gray but the intoxicated juvenile had passed out on the floor of the church bathroom. However, Gray denied that they had gone to church that night. According to the juveniles, after they returned to Gray’s home in Bloomfield that night, they all smoked marijuana.

Lt. Holt also heard about alleged inappropriate sexual behavior by an adult (not Gray) toward one of the juveniles, but he said that allegation is the subject of a separate investigation.

When Lt. Holt first talked to Gray, she denied smoking marijuana with the two juveniles but allegedly admitted she had smoked marijuana, had paraphernalia and some roaches in the house but no drugs and no marijuana left. At the time of the first interview she said she didn’t have any drugs or alcohol in her system, that she could be tested, and that her house could be searched.

Lt. Holt reported that during a search, he found rolling papers and a glass smoking device with burnt residue.

After a second interview with one of the juveniles, when Lt. Holt confronted Gray, she allegedly admitted she did take the two juveniles to church but they left, and again said she had smoked marijuana that day but not with the juveniles. Then she allegedly admitted she knew the juveniles were smoking marijuana and said they got into her stuff.

Gray’s bond was set at $8,500 surety with ten percent cash allowed. She posted $850 and was released the same day as her arrest. A date for her initial hearing in Greene Superior Court is not yet known.
