Morrison is accused of approaching a 9-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl in his vehicle on Aug. 17 and offering them $20 each to babysit his 4-year-old child.

Morrison drove the children to an area where he stopped the vehicle and told the boy to get out to inspect one of the tires, the statement said. Once the boy went outside, the vehicle drove off with the girl still in it. When the girl started to cry, Morrison allegedly increased the offer to $100, according to the criminal complaint in Cabell County Magistrate Court.

Gross!!! I hope LE investigates him thoroughly to make sure no other children have been harmed by this douchebag.

Barboursville is 8 miles from Huntington, why are they searching an apartment there?

Did a time specific search for sentencing information but nothing exists.
I also can't seem to even find a site for court records.
He is still incarcerated but there is no information on when the sentence ends. sigh
