A private investigator and bondsman related to the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings was arrested and charged with false imprisonment Friday.

William Eugene Staubs, 51, of Weston, Fla., is accused of taking Daniel Everett Snodgrass, 51, from his Satsuma home against his will on March 20.

Staubs, also known as “Cobra,” had been working closely with attorney Kim Picazio, who represents Crystal Sheffield, the mother of Haleigh Cummings. Haleigh has been missing since February, and was last seen in her Satsuma home.

Haleigh Cummings, 5, was reported missing on Feb. 11.

It all started when Snodgrass was arrested and charged with sexual battery of a child under 12. Snodgrass filed a complaint saying that Staubs called him out of his home on a loudspeaker with a siren on.

According to a news release, Snodgrass told Detective Ken Taylor that Staubs told Snodgrass he was revoking Snodgrass’ bond, threw Snodgrass to the ground, handcuffed him and forced him into Staubs vehicle. Staubs then reportedly drove away from the residence headed towards Palatka, according to the release. After driving a short distance and making several telephone calls, Staubs reportedly turned around, drove Snodgrass back to his residence and released him, the news release said.

Jail officials said that Snodgrass had been bonded out of jail when the incident occurred.

Staubs is being held on $5,004 bond at the Putnam County Jail.

Misty Croslin-Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll

A lawyer for the mother of a missing Florida girl slammed the child’s father in an interview, saying the little girl was exposed to a “typical sex, drugs and rock-and-roll lifestyle” before she disappeared.

Her 24-year-old father, Ronald Cummings, reported hid daughter Haleigh Cummings missing at 3AM on Feb. 9 when he got home from work. Haleigh vanished from the Satsuma-area trailer home where she was being cared for by his 17-year-old wife Misty Croslin.

“The particular lifestyle that we believe is led by Misty and Ronald Cummings is one that essentially laid out the red carpet to something at some point happening to these children, and something did,” Kim Picazio, an attorney for Crystal Sheffield, said in an interview Wednesday.

She said Misty and Ronald Cummings lead “your typical sex, drugs and rock-and-roll lifestyle that is not conducive to raising children.”

The family has reportedly been advised by legal counsel not to speak with the media. A call to Cummings’ lawyer also was not returned.

Misty Croslin has given various versions of the events of the fateful night to the media and Investigators from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office in 96 hours of questioning.

Misty claims she put Haleigh and 4-year-old brother Junior to bed, washed the bedding and then went to sleep in a bed 4 feet from the toddler. She awoke just before 3AM, went to the bathroom and upon returning to the bedroom found Kaleigh missing and a concrete block holding the backdoor open.

Rumors are spreading that Misty had a drug dealer boyfriend and she may have left that night and went to his house.

In my opinion it is likely that she did leave the kids alone that and possibly one of the other addicts that might have been there, realizing little Haleigh was alone left and abducted her.
