More legal troubles for the family of Haleigh.

Haleigh Cummings went missing in February 10th of 2009. Before her disappearance Haleigh’s father was arrested a bakers dozen times. All charges were dropped. Since the disappearance, Misty Croslin and her family have had numerous arrests. Now it’s her Mom and Dads turn.

Police said Lisa and Hank Croslin Sr. bought the crack cocaine from an undercover agent this weekend. A completely random drug buy from a not-so-random family of miscreants.


Along with the buying charges, they are also charged with tampering with evidence for trying to get rid of the crack. Both are being held on a 5-thousand dollar bond.

They are the parents of Misty Croslin, the last person to see Haleigh alive before she vanished. Misty and Haleigh’s father Ron are both in jail on drug charges unrelated to Haleigh’s disappearance.

Hank Croslin Sr., 41, was arrested in November 2009 and accused of doctor shopping. It was reported that Croslin Sr. got approximately 300 Oxycontin and Hydrocodone pills from three different doctors between April and May 2009.

Nashville police and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Lisa Croslin on a fugitive-from-justice warrant on Thursday. She was wanted by Florida authorities on forgery and theft charges.

Lisa Croslin was arrested after an area man told police she had cashed a check using checks stolen from his home.

Croslin is the mother of Misty Croslin, who police say was the last person to see Haleigh Cummings, now 6, when she disappeared Feb. 10 from a mobile home in Putnam County, Fla.

At the time of the disappearance, Misty Croslin was the girlfriend of Cummings’ father. They married about a month after Haleigh’s disappearance.

The Gainesville Sun reported Saturday that authorities in Putnam County are looking for a woman who dropped off a letter at the sheriff’s office that allegedly has information about Haleigh.

Authorities would not reveal the letter’s contents but said it could be “very helpful.”

Lisa Croslin’s arrest is not related to her granddaughter being missing but it is showing a pattern of criminal behavior from many member’s of the family. I’m sure you remember Tommy Croslin, Misty’s brother, being arrested a couple of weeks ago.

According to the Sheriff’s Dept., Marvin Martin, told deputies that he wanted to file charges against Hank Jr. (Tommy) for stealing his .38 caliber Colt revolver.

Tommy and his mother had come into his house to use the phone and Tommy went to the bathroom while his mom called someone. Later, Mr. Martin, who is elderly and legally blind, found the gun missing and knew they must have had something to do with it. The victim called Tommy’s sister-in-law and told her he knew either Tommy or his mom took his gun and he wanted it back or he would involve the police.

A few hours later, Tommy’s mother and dad brought the gun to him. His mother said that he stole it and hid it in the shed behind his house. Mr. Martin said he wasn’t really sure whether it was Tommy or his mother that did it, but he suspected it was Hank.

Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Tommy had stolen Ronald’s gun on or about the night Haleigh went missing and hid it in a culvert.

Ronald Cummings has been arrested over a dozen times with the charges being dropped almost every time. Most likely the fact that his mother works for the police department has something to do with that.

Lots of criminals in little Haleigh’s life, seems it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. She never had a chance.
