DETROIT – Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Joseph Robinson, 22, of Detroit, in connection with supplying four 17-year-old boys housed in the Juvenile Detention Center with marijuana gummies.
It is alleged that Robinson was working as a mentor at JDF on July 2, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., when he allegedly gave the contraband to the youths.
Court documents revealed diligent employees observed the four to be lethargic, incoherent, and in impaired mental states and immediately had them transported to a Metro Detroit hospital.
Police said they were later discharged from the hospital on the same day.
An investigation by JDF officials resulted in the arrest of Robinson on July 3, 2025.
Robinson has been charged with four counts of furnishing a controlled substance (marijuana) to minors (Eight-year felony) and four counts of jails-furnishing contraband to prisoners (Five-year felony).
He was arraigned this morning in the 36th District Court and given a $5,000 cash/surety bond with a GPS tether.
A bond re-determination hearing is scheduled for July 9, 2025, at 9 a.m.
The probable cause Conference is scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 8:30 a.m., and the preliminary examination is scheduled for July 22, 2025, at 8:45 a.m.
