This is all from 2-12-02

 

[Whisperer]

Lots of felonies in the above post. Boggles the mind to understand how he got away with it.

 

[Whisperer]

Most states consider GHB and Ecstasy very serious crimes. About 5 yrs each.

Heroin, cocaine and meth are felonies here also.

He should have been looking at least at 20 with a plea down to 5....BUT this is Ron Cummings we're talking about here. Nothing is his fault, remember?

One day his luck is going to run out...

I have thought from the beginning that with the internet and media spotlight on this case and especially these charges coming to nothing....the State authorities would be looking closely at things. Surprised they have not stepped in and taken over the whole shebang. BUT nothing surprises me in this case any longer.

Re: Ronald Cummings, arrest record surrounding counties

In these counties, traffic violations, 9 years ago (Ronald age 16)
Marion County: traffic violation 7/20/2000
St. John's County: Nothing
Flagler: 7/8/2000 Speeding
Clay County: Nothing

Sarasota: 11/1999 Driver's license violation

9/29/2005: traffic stop, with police bringing in drug dogs. Found (alleged) morphine and a drug for which R. had no prescription (Xanax? drug not identified in court record). Was cited for violating PFA taken out by Crystal. Charges were dropped/abandoned on 10/18/2005.

Now, a look at Jane Velez-Mitchell's transcript below shows at least one place where much of the debate over Ron's record fueled. Jane and her guests speculate as to why the case was "dropped/abandoned": was he an informant? Lots of breathless speculation and talk as if Ron had been arrested days before Haleigh's disappearance. Talk that the charges were "mysteriously" dropped. All of this gets replayed over and over on these threads. What is omitted are the experts and witnesses who say things like this:



and this:



A few years ago, a friend's son was stopped at a red light trap (where LE freezes a light late at night and then pulls the driver when he/she goes through the light after waiting for several minutes). The officer searched the car without permission and found an empty marijuana pipe. The kid (19) was tossed in jail and interrogated about giving up his "drug supplier." He was released in the morning but charged with possession of paraphernalia. A very well-know criminal defense attorney took the case; we went to the hearing but it was over before we got into the hearing room. Literally. We never got to sit down. Once they knew who the attorney was, they dropped the charges. Just like that. We don't know why the charges in Ron's case were dropped, but it is most likely that Ronald had a decent attorney who may have raised questions about the search. It may also be that the lab tests did not come back with enough evidence to go forward, that it turned out that Ron had a prescription for whatever he had, and/or the charge of violation of the PFA (a matter of distance) did not hold up. Ron's sister in the same JVM interview said he had a lawyer for these charges and that is why they were dismissed. When the charge is felony possession of narcotics, my lawyer friend says you mortgage the house to get the best legal representation possible.

Once again, arrests can be made, charges may be brought. That doesn't mean that the person will be found guilty or that the person IS guilty or that if he is, the state can make the case in a trial. What is clear to me is that we should not be tossing about these claims when we cannot possibly know what happened in court because the REASON for the dropped charges is not public record. And all that said, the arrest was 4 years ago--almost all of his adult life has been lived since then.

Those are not ALL of his arrests. Thanks to Whisperer for posting the unabridged version of his rap sheet. He has been in possession of sales amounts of very hard drugs and many drugs at the same time. He is a dangerous criminal...no two ways about it. Ask LE to review his rap sheet and tell you what they get from it. I have done that...it is not good. Willful disregard for the law...ticking time bomb are two statements.

 

[Whisperer]

I don't think LE is happy at all with RC. I think they would have liked to nail him on the sleeping with minor (that was a good 20 yr sentence) but with the recent tragedy in his life, LE would have come out looking like Scrooge at such a time.

IMO, though, there is no love lost between LE and RC. Good thing he is in his bubble. He may have to remain there for a looooong time. But sooner or later, RC is going to want to go out and it will be at night and he will get in trouble. Can't keep him away from the girls too long.

LOL...You may already be a couple of days late and a couple of dollars short (as I suspect Ron C is also) in reference to that statement. JMO

oops...there is the unabridged version in stickies...I always wonder why we see the short version posted daily.

 

[Whisperer]

Ut..OH.. Are you suggesting RC has already started prowling..er..I mean courting again?.........Lock up your Daughters!

He'll get in his new truck with the Candy Store and start the dating process. Gads, that's strange. Whatever happened to the malt shop and sharing a milkshake? ....*chuckles at the thought of RC actually doing that*

 

[stilettos]

Ut..OH..You mean RC has already started prowling.........Lock up your Daughters!

OH..he will never get within ten feet of my girls....Momma Shoes doesn't roll like that.

 

[Pondering Mind]

What a WHOPPER that one arrest is though Whisperer!!!

You know of course that a few are very quick to point out that "arrests mean nothing". I totally disagree with that...while certainly an arrest does not make someone guilty, just because one is not convicted does not make one innocent by any means either!

For ANYONE who thinks Ron's 'arrests' mean nothing, I have yet to read HOW they believe these 'false arrests' or 'arrests with no meaning' (my words) came about? Someone PLEASE enlighten me :banghead:! For the sake of arguement, what could Ron have innocently been doing to have been arrested for possesion of this cornicopia of drugs to begin with? I honestly can't think of one reasonable answer :snooty:, anyone else???

No Pondering...(putting on my sarcastic voice) You know that every single one of those arrests were set ups by the bad, evil LEO's that framed him. NOT....I trust LE, but that is what I have heard repeatedly about this record.

But the same people will state that Tommy's arrest for like charges is definitely a good collar. It boggles the mind how people can look at these two men and come up with such dissimilar outcomes. Both men endangered their families and the public at large. Both men have multiple charges against them. This may be the first drug charge I've seen of Tommy's, but it doesn't lessen the impact of what dangers abound.

And it never ever lessened the danger Ronald's family was in, and all of it could have played a part in what happened in the disappearance of Haleigh Ann-Marie Cummings and I won't dismiss it as trumped up because there were occasions they weren't turned into convictions.

There is only 1 reason I can think of that would make these arrests "mean nothing", and that would be if RC was an inside informant for LE. If LE had someone on the inside that they needed to protect, it would be necessary for them to arrest this informant along with the people he was turning in.

This does happen frequently where I live. I cannot imagine any other scenario where a parent has this type of rap sheet, but is considered the "better" parent in a custody issue.

And even given that more civic-minded scenario, I cannot imagine choosing to endanger my family if ever the gig was up and someone found out I was an informant. For myself, if I chose that route in life, I'd have my family far away from it. Far far far away.

 

[tehcloser]

If he was some type of informant, I don't think he "chose" to do it, more likely it was "Do it or you are going to jail"........either way Ron has been involved with drugs. Fine, he was not "charged", but that history is there, and it shows what type of person he is. The fact that the people he was around are still doing this shows he chose not to get away from that lifestyle.........and worse, he chose not to keep his kids away from that lifestyle.

This is all from 2-12-02

Thank you so much for posting these charges inside the thread. I have devoted a very good lump of my time into the research of these charges as well as the outcome of these charges. Inconsequential of note, in my opinion, because what you have succeeded in affirming is that if you are ambitious enough there is much to discover in the past history of each and every key player in this case. Please note that the information that you have raised for discussion pertain to the year of 2002. Haleigh Cummings was born August 17, 2003, please note...Haleigh WAS NOT BORN at the time of the charges in your above post, but nearly 9 months after. FACT. Also of note Marie Griffis married Bruce Griffis, I think the date of record is late December of 2001. I am linking to their marriage cert. found here on WS in the stickies. Link http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y234/colomom/image230290.jpg

So where are we? Ronald and Crystal enter into a relationship and soon after Crystal becomes pregnant with Haleigh. Crystal's mother marries Bruce Griffis late 2001. But if you take the time to look into the records you might see that there is a trend beginning to form with Ronald Cummings as well as Crystal. Marie appears to have no objection with the relationship that her child has entered into with Ronald. Haleigh is born in the summer of 2003 and Crystal and Ronald carried on a relationship throughout the next good lump of time. Next date of note February 15, 2005 and on this day we see the birth of Ronald JR, which then leads us to the next date of not which happens in 2005 as well.

2005 The Putnam County Clerk records show that Ronald Cummings sought paternity (custody?) in 2005 against Crystal Sheffield. Indeed there is much to discover and the truth is there for all to read if we are so inclined.

Whisperer you have no problem in providing the necessary information to support your claims that Ronald Cummings has a past and I actually thank you and others for doing so. Without all of your hard work I would not have been able to come to possess the opinions that I have formed. I took the information that was out there and arrived at the opinion that Haleigh Cummings was born into a dysfunctional family on both ends of the family spectrum. Maternal and Paternal sides included. But rather than accuse the mother and father of this child of her disappearance and possible murder, I am refraining from passing judgment on them based on charges that go back before the birth of their children. If we are to declare them guilty based on charges, intertwined with rumors and speculations of drug usage based on the company each one keeps then perhaps we should call for the arrest and prosecution of all these family members and lock them up in a cell until we find Haleigh.

Then...after we find Haleigh and determine who wasn't involved...we will let out the family members that are not guilty. The guilty ones will already be locked up so case closed right? I can not agree. Innocent until proven guilty is the foundation that our country was built on. Perhaps you don't agree with it, but our forefathers that established the laws for which our country was built on protects the innocent and prosecutes the guilty. I agree that it is difficult to be patient and wait for Law Enforcement to discover the truth but it is how things must be done. This is not Iraq, where we can arrest who we think is guilty and slaughter them at the stake, this is the United States of America.
