Putnam County Investigators released video recordings of Ron Cummings and Misty Croslin taken during a drug sting.

The pair and three others were arrested last month for allegedly selling prescription pain killers oxycodone and oxycoton to an undercover officer.

Misty Croslin instructs Ronald on how the drug deal should go down.

“You just leave the pills right there and I’ll pick them up when I walk into the bathroom,” Misty says on the tape that was recorded in an undercover cop car.

Ronald Cummings seems extremely worried that if people find out he’s involved with drugs they would assume a connection to the disappearance of his daughter Haleigh. I guess he thought he could just get off like all the times before, because he never mentions being worried about anything else. Seems he worries way too much about how he is perceived.

“Please don’t ever tell no one that I did this shit,” he said. “People would go to assuming that I was a dope boy or pissed someone off. Dope boys don’t come and get your kids like that.”

This week, both Cummings and Croslin plead not guilty to drug charges and are sitting in jail hoping someone will raise their bonds.

In my opinion: Ronald Cummings is a child molestor that preys on underage girls and uses the drugs as bait, you might say jailbait. He has the drugs, they stay for the drugs.

Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin were finally arrested on drug charges last night.

Ronald Cummings has been arrested a bakers dozen times on drug and assault charges. The charges have been dropped every time before this.

I believe he’s been allowed to run amuck in Putnam County Florida because his mother works as a dispatcher at the police station. I don’t think mama can get him out of this one.

Here’s the story from Channel 13 in Florida…..


PUTNAM COUNTY — The father and ex-stepmother of Haleigh Cummings have been arrested on drug charges.

Ronald Cummings, his ex-wife Misty Croslin and her brother Hank “Tommy ” Croslin, Jr. were arrested Wednesday on multiple drug trafficking charges following a month-long investigation.

Deputies said the three allegedly sold Oxycodone and Hydrocodone to undercover agents.

Hope Sykes and Orlando resident Donna Broch were also arrested.

If convicted, Cummings, Misty Croslin and Brock could face a mandatory 25-year sentence. The other suspects could face 3 to 15 years.

Cummings and his ex-wife have been in the media spotlight since 2009 after Cummings’ daughter Haleigh vanished from her home in Satsuma.

Misty Croslin was the last person to see the now 6-year-old alive and is under suspicion after failing lie detector tests.

Lets take another look at Ronald Cummings. I know the Police Department has cleared him, its been reported continuously since about a week after Haleigh’s disappearance.

Some interesting items from Ronald Cummings police record show us that he is a criminal. An un-prosecuted criminal. An un-prosecuted criminal over and over again.

How many times has Ronald Cummings been “cleared” by the Police Department?

I think you get my point. The police have caught Ronald over and over again with drugs, drug paraphernalia, un-authorized prescription pills and drug equipment. They have caught him trespassing and violating a domestic violence injunction but every time, over and over again, he is released without prosecution.

Would ANYONE else receive this treatment that’s mom didn’t work at the Police Department? Would you be “cleared” of all this?

While the world focuses on Misty Croslin for her inconsistent statements to police and the press, could it be that her inconsistencies stem from her protection of known criminal Ronald Cummings?

Misty Croslin has never been charged with any crime. Its unlikely for an individual to go from no criminal record to murder without a few escalating crimes in between.

Just my thoughts. Please share yours.

Ronald Cummings begged the public for help to find his missing 5-year-old daughter Haleigh Cummings in a video released last week on his lawyer’s Web site.

But today he amended that message — he wants help from everyone except Cindy and George Anthony.

“The family of Ronald Cummings, father of Haleigh Cummings, wishes to make it clear that they do not want any involvement by George and Cindy Anthony in the continuing search for Haleigh Cummings,” according to a news release issued by the Kimball & Snider Law Firm, which represents Cummings.

“The Anthony’s have their own agenda, as witnessed by their recent media tour. The facts relating to the death of Calee (sic) Anthony, which resulted in the first degree murder charges against Casey Anthony, are in no way similar to Haleigh’s disappearance,” the release said.

Press release issued by attorney of Ronald Cummings
April 16, 2009
In response to today’s story in the Florida Times-Union, Greg Kimball, the attorney representing the father of Haleigh Cummings, Ronald Cummings, issued the following press release:

April 16, 2009

This press release is in response to the Florida Times-Union article of today’s date.

Ronald Cummings in the last two months has had to deal not only with the disappearance of his daughter Haleigh, but also false muckraking allegations by attorney Kim Picazio, representing Crystal Sheffield, and Picazio’s personal friend “Cobra.”

From the time of Haleigh’s disappearance, Ronald Cummings was told that his employer was holding his job open. He was told by his employer that he could start back to work on Monday, April 6, 2009. Ronald agreed to this date and was prepared to go into work when he was told on Friday, April 3, 2009 that the offer to return to work was being withdrawn for “abandoning his job.”

Ronald expressed his displeasure with the company for going back on its word, but at no time threatened anyone.

This office has referred Ronald to a Daytona Beach law firm that handles labor and employment law.

It should be noted that Crystal Sheffield is currently thousands of dollars in arrears for child support. She has not been gainfully employed in approximately two years. When Crystal and Ronald lived together it was mainly Ronald’s grandmother that cared for their children since Crystal was usually watching TV.

This office anticipates providing Department of Children and Families (DCF) with new information on a confidential basis in the near future.

It is ironic that the last Florida Times Union article by Dana Treen on April 5, 2009 bemoaned that the squabbles and personal differences of Haleigh’s parents have distracted from the search for Haleigh. The article blamed both sides equally. The article was rebutted in a press release from this office (which is being re-printed and follows this release).

Now Dana Treen wants to wade into personal matters on the side of Crystal Sheffield. Which is it, Mr. Treen?
