On Sunday morning, jail records show he was arrested by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and accused of multiple charges including resisting an officer with violence and drug possession.
Cummings pleaded guilty to drug trafficking in 2010, the year after the disappearance of his 5-year-old daughter and served more than a decade.
Ronald Cummings; his girlfriend, Misty Croslin; her brother, Hank Croslin; and Donna Brock were all charged with drug trafficking as the result of an investigation that began before HaLeigh Cummings’ disappearance in 2009. They all pleaded guilty or no contest and got sentences ranging from 15 to 25 years. Brock and Ronald Cummings were released from prison in October. Hank Croslin is set to be released in March. Misty Croslin isn’t set for release until 2031.
The St. Johns River was searched, repeatedly, because the next morning, bloodhounds brought in went right to the river. Nearby ponds were searched, and one was even drained. The Sheriff’s Office brought Misty Croslin and the others in for questioning for months, but no trace of the child was ever found. On April 15, 2010, Sheriff Jeff Hardy announced HaLeigh Cummings was most likely dead, and the case was being worked as a homicide.
