Three Tennessee residents remain in the Washington County Jail Friday after poaching allegations.

Tim Rutheford, Kirk Benson and Larry Black appeared via video in Marietta Municipal Court for arraignment Friday afternoon.

They face five misdemeanor charges after allegedly taking nearly 2,400 mussels from the Muskingum River.

The judge set the bond at $20,000 for each case.

The three could likely face felony charges after a possible grand jury indictment and could end up paying more than $400,000 in restitution.

They are all scheduled to be back in court Monday.
