Will Ron's prior drug poss'n charges and poss'n of narcotic equipment be read in Court and factor into the Judges decision? Is Ron appearing before Judge Terry LaRue? Although Ron was charged with possession of narcotic equipment and or use, he has never been charged with drug trafficking before. Ron was charged with POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE(MORPHINE), DRUGS POSSESS-CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION, POSSESSION OF NEW LEGEND DRUG WO PRESCRIPTION, and one charge of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
These are serious offenses. IIRC Ron was later charged for violating firearm regulations, hunting at night, and uttering threats wasn't he?
Because Ron's drug history is worse than Hope and Donna's, I think his sentence should be greater than 15 years. Tommy was sentenced to 15 years because a LEO told Judge Terry LaRue Tommy is a suspect in HaLeigh's case although no charges have been filed against him. Rightfully everyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty but because of the overlapping investigation into HaLeigh Cummings case, the reality is everyone is a suspect until proven innocent.

Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - Ron C.
That might be a fair sentence in other cases, but not in this one. Hope, Donna Brock, & Tommy all got higher than that, & they all had less charges. Not witholding information, in another case, shouldn't be held against Hope & Donna. Also, legally speaking, these 3 don't have anywhere near the amount of priors that Ron does. So, there's just no way he's gonna get what you're hoping for. Probation? lol...in his dreams.YEP! I hope this is what they do or give him probation for the whole minimum sentence and time served on the jail time.
This would be a fair sentence for the crime and the first offense sentenced on.
I also think Ron is working with LE still and if he got out on time served for his deal wouldn't surprise me one bit.
P.S This is my opinion only please don't judge me.
These are his charges in Sarasota Florida .They don't include the many charges over the many years in Putnam County , FL.
The advantage Ron has over all the other players charged with drug trafficking is the fact his daughter went missing before he is sentenced, so Ron owns the very powerful card called "SYMPATHY". Tommy, Hope, and Donna do not have the same advantage Ron cleverly created for his own protection and neither does Misty. Ron became more devious after he was charged in 2005 with domestic violence and possession of some very powerful and dangerous drugs, including morphine. Having his daughter disappear allows Ron to escape reality while everyone else busted with him are forced to pay for their crime(s). I sincerely hope the Judge and LE realize what Ron is up to and they don't allow him to profit from his daughter's disappearance any longer. That would make my day.
IIRC, he came before Judge LaRue on one or more of his Putnam County charges of the past.
Scary. But, hopefully the judge has had it with him!
YEP! I hope this is what they do or give him probation for the whole minimum sentence and time served on the jail time.

I agree. I hope the book is thrown at him also. I fear he will not even get a smack on the hands, just a pat on the back. That seems to be the way most of his drug incidents are handled.I hope the judge throws the book at him, and gives him the max, but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if he walked out with probation and rehab. At this point, nothing would surprise me with Ron, except maybe him getting some "real hard time."
Had to google that! I fear you are right.Either that or......LaRue Male verum examinat omnis Corruptus judex..JMHO
Ronald Cummings negotiating a 15-yr sentence In exchange for testimony of Misty and Hank Jr. in Drug Case.

Shoemaker said negotiations are not finished but part of the expected deal would mean Ronald Cummings would not be sentenced until after the Croslins are tried.
The judge assign a trial date of July 19, 2010 and a final date the court will accept a negotiated deal-plea agreement .
Shoemaker and Cummings hope to have the deal within two weeks or possibly within a week.
An attempt stalled Wednesday to make a deal with the state, said Terry Shoemaker. He said Cummings will agree to testify at trials of Misty Croslin, and Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr.
The sentencing range would likely be a 15-year minimum mandatory - possible 30-year maximum, Shoemaker said. The sentence would be for the three less serious charges.
What is the minimum for the charges he pled to?
I think he'll get the minimum whatever it is.
Do I agree with that? Nope. But that's what I'm thinking he will get.
Kat,
He has 3 trafficking charges he pled guilty to.
2 carry a 15 yr. min. man and 1 carries a 3 yr. min. man.
So are we looking at 33 years min?
:waitasec: I predict
15 years
10 suspended
Credit for time served
Released in 2 years with probation.
Can a sentence on a charge that carries a minimum mandatory be suspended?
Is that even an option? I don't expect mkay to know this, just jumping off the post as it got me wondering if a suspended is possible.
krkrjx did you see anything about this during your research?
