This just in from TJ Hart - Jan Barrett

The brother of Misty Croslin, the last person to see a missing Satsuma girl alive, is once again behind the bars of the Putnam County jail.

Hank Thomas “Tommy” Croslin Jr. was booked in to the Putnam County jail Thursday morning at 11:40 and charged with misdemeanor narcotic equipment-possession or use and a felony drug charge for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.

973.The Sky spoke with Lt. Johnny Greenwood to ask if Croslin’s arrest had anything to do with rumours of an ambulance call to 116 Tyler regarding a 42-year-old man frothing at the mouth and how this arrest might impact other cases pending against Croslin. Greenwood replied:

“I have spoken with our Communications Center and we have not had a rescue call at 116 Tyler Lane today. Regarding your question of Tommy Croslin’s bond on the previous arrest, that will be up to the judge or possibly the bail bondsman that bonded him out last time. If there was a condition in his bond paperwork concerning any future arrests, the bail bondsman could possibly move to have his bond revoked if he/she desires.”

Tommy Croslin was recently released on bond regarding the alleged theft of a gun from his blind neighbor. This is the same neighbor his mother, Lisa Croslin, is accused of stealing checks from and forging at least one of those checks for $400.

While awaiting bond on his gun theft charge, Tommy Croslin told investigators he didn’t think that his sister Misty Croslin was at home in the 10pm hour that February night then 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings was taken while she was being watched by Misty.

Misty Croslin was the babysitter for Haleigh Cummings and a Ronald Cumming Jr. before marrying the children’s’ father, Ronald Cummings Sr., shortly after was abducted from the mobile home they shared in Hermit’s Cove near Satsuma, FL.

Just weeks ago Misty and Ronald divorced and young Haleigh is still missing.

Haleigh is described as a 5 year old white female. She is approximately 3′0, 39 lbs, blonde hair & brown eyes. Unknown clothing description.

Haleigh was last seen at her residence in the Hermit’s Cove area of Putnam County on February 9, 2009 between the hours of 8-10pm.

A statewide Amber Alert has been issued. An additional $30,000 in rewards have been posted.

The brother of the woman who said she was the last to see missing Putnam County girl HaLeigh Cummings was arrested on drug charges Thursday morning.

Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr. -- the brother of Misty Croslin, the 17-year-old ex-wife of HaLeigh's father, Ronald Cummings -- was found asleep in the front seat of his van near his home in Satsuma at about 9 a.m.

Putnam County medics woke Croslin, 23, and a deputy saw a prescription pill bottle and a sandwich bag containing "several blue pills" in the front passenger seat, according to a police report.

He said he had dropped off his son at the bus stop and had "taken a nap because he was sleepy," the report stated.

His father, Hank Croslin, came to the scene and asked his son if he had any "roxies," referring to the pain medication Roxicodone. The elder Croslin told a deputy "roxies" had been stolen from his house the night before.

Tommy Croslin denied knowing the pills were in the van, even though, the report noted, the pills and a cigarette lighter were the only items in the passenger seat.

He was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a third-degree felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a first-degree misdemeanor, and was being held at the county jail on $1,508 bond.

In a news release, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said it was not giving interviews regarding the arrest as it "does not have any bearing on the Haleigh Cummings investigation, and we do not want subsequent arrests, such as this one, to cause distractions for our investigative team."

SATSUMA, Fla. -- Just two weeks after an arrest on drug charges, Hank Croslin Jr. is in jail again.

This time, Misty Croslin's brother is facing domestic violence charges.

Putnam County deputies said the arrest stems from an argument he had with his father over DVDs.

Hank's sister, Misty, was the last person to see missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings before she vanished.

She recently divorced Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings.
