Wow! I wonder if that's additive. I.e., if there are three counts of (a), does that mean 3 yrs + 3 yrs + 3yrs? Or is this all negotiable, based on previous history, willingness to cooperate & give up info, etc., etc.?

 

[cyberborg]

Wonder if NG will feature TN on her show and how poor Ron was setup and framed?

 

[Emeralgem]

it cant last long, this covering up

IMHO..This covering up has lasted too DAMN long...

 

[MADJGNLAW]

You mean CJ....who is JW?

I immediately thought CJ

JEROME W. Early on he was suppose to help LE out if I am not mistaken, it was said it was a bust back then. Hopefully this time something will come out of all these drug/thugs.

For all we know, LE might not even be done yet....!

Yep, watch 'em fall like dominoes.

 

[Beatrice]

What? Who is setting up who, do you think?

...Donna Brock.

Misty knew what she was about (TES)
Yet, they are hanging out with her....

 

[Concerned Papa]

LE needs to stock up on batteries, tape, and spare recorders because there's gonna be a lot of singing going on with this bunch.

Matter of fact, all they got to do is call me. I'll spring for a few cases of each.

 

[Busylady]

Looks like the arrest are done for the night. I think they each will be spending many years in jail if PC handles this right.

Date: January 20, 2010

On January 20, 2010, investigators from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, HIDTA Tri-County Drug Task Force, and the Office of the State Attorney, 7th Judicial Circuit, concluded a month-long undercover operation with the arrest of four (4) Satsuma residents and one (1) individual from Orlando for trafficking in controlled prescription medications.

During the operation, investigators made several purchases of Oxycodone and Hydrocodone medications from these individuals. Ronald Lemyles Cummings, Misty Janette Croslin, Hank Thomas “Tommy” Croslin Jr., Hope A. Sykes, and Orlando resident Donna Broch, were arrested and charged with trafficking in controlled prescription medications. If convicted as charged, Ronald Cummings, Misty Cummings, and Donna Broch, could receive a minimum mandatory sentence of twenty-five (25) years in state prison. If convicted, the other individuals can receive minimum sentences ranging from three (3) years to fifteen (15) years in state prison. An undercover Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Detective purchased large quantities of prescription medications from this group on seven (7) separate occasions. The estimated street value of prescription drugs seized is $3,900.00.

Today, the second phase of the operation was concluded. Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin purchased trafficking amounts of prescription medications from undercover investigators. Both individuals were immediately arrested and taken into custody without incident. The other individuals were arrested on active arrest warrants resulting from this investigation. The following list details the charges and bonds for the subjects involved in this case:

Misty Janette Croslin, DOB: 12/09/1991 –
Six (6) Counts of trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond – $950,000.00)


Ronald Lemyles Cummings, DOB: 10/29/1983 –
Three (3) Counts of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond – $500,000.00)



Hank “Tommy” Croslin Jr., DOB: 08/02/1986 –
One (1) Count of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond - $100,000.00)



Hope A. Sykes, DOB: 03/24/1991 – One (1) Count of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond - $150,000)

Donna Broch – One (1) Count of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Bond - $250,000.00)


This operation was in response to the growing problem of the illegal sale and distribution of prescription drugs within Putnam County and surrounding areas. Prescription drug abuse is rapidly on the rise in Putnam County, and is one of the toughest crimes for law enforcement to combat. Most dealers are merchants of their own addiction, and sell these prescription medications to simply support their own habit.

Information was obtained that these individuals were unlawfully selling prescription medications in the community. Sheriff Hardy assigned detectives from the Drug/Vice Unit to the investigation. An undercover Putnam County Detective infiltrated this group, gaining the trust of these drug dealers.

Sheriff Hardy acknowledges the rise in prescription medication crimes in our community, and understands that this is a precursor to many other crimes affecting our citizens. He has instructed his investigators to not only aggressively pursue the subjects who are illegally selling prescription medications, but also the individuals who are unlawfully possessing and using these highly addictive drugs.

As stated in previous releases, investigators assigned to the Haleigh Cummings investigation will take every available opportunity to speak with any individual believed to have knowledge about Haleigh Cummings’ disappearance.
