[gypsyblue]

If her brother is that crazy...maybe everyone is looking in the wrong direction entirely.

Wrong Croslin, I believe this was Misty's brother Hank JR

Looks like a couple corrections coming, it was not the father, who is 40 according to the article, it is the brother, and that he left Granny Sykes property and then called it in, and it was simple battery.

If this took place on GGS' property and Ronald never left there...then it means he was confronted by Hank Jr to begin with. I still don't see how they came up with these charges unless Hank Jr provoked him and jumped into his truck to let Ronald come in after him. It sounds about the only thing that could have happened, imo. So to me...yes...it sounds like Hank Jr could be the crazy one. Why would you go to your brother-in-law's house and start a fight with a man who is emotionally spent after losing his daughter?

oh and it was simple battery apparently

It must have to do with a vehicle and entering it.

It could be that Croslin is not the victim, that it didn't happen on GGS's property, that we are all debating completely erroneous details. Time will tell. Could be a squabble that started between him and Misty, could be an overzealous cop.

I know Ron has been arrested, what the charge is, and that there has not been an arrest warrant issued for any Croslin.

 

[Whisperer]

Have we reached all of my nine excuses and explanations yet?

Posted 2 hours after arrest:
My list of what we will hear...

1. grieving parent..give him a break
2. he didn't do anything
3 LE has made an error
4. LE is picking on him
5. It is just a simple battery
6. He didn't hurt anyone
7. He didn't commit a technical burglary
8. The complainant was drunk
9. LE just wants to show the public they are doing something
.......and to be thrown in later, Crystal caused all this

It would certainly help if a real journalist picked up on this story and got some facts straight while they are reporting it so we would not have to guess at what is really going on with this situation.

 

[Busylady]

Will be interesting IMO when all the details come out about what went down.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

How much will we learn at the hearing in the morning? Isn't that just to set bail?

 

[Busylady]

Yep I think it will be just to set bail, don't think they will get into any details at that time.

How much will we learn at the hearing in the morning? Isn't that just to set bail?

 

[Busylady]

From reading about what the charges could mean - I think it could be as simple as he reached into thru the car window and hit Hank Jr.

Yep, just a formal this is what you are charged with, bail is set at, if you need a public defender speak up.

he was charged with 810.02 - 2a which would be

Yes, this is all I can figure that could have taken place.

The news media outlets are now picking up the story altho they aren't saying much yet.:

Ronald Cummings, the father of missing Satsuma 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings, was booked into the Putnam County jail sometime last night on charges of burglary with battery.

According to the Putnam County jail's booking desk, Cummings was still in jail on the felony charge as of 5:45 Thursday morning.
