On February 13, 2021, at approximately 10:11 a.m. a disturbance was reported on Bunyon Drive. A verbal altercation between Crunkelton and another individual turned physical and ended with a broken cell phone, the victim being struck multiple times in the face and Crunkleton hurling items around the residence before exiting the premises and vacating the property. Washington County Sheriff’s Office and K-9 teams from both Holmes CI and Northwest Florida Reception Center were actively searching the area for Crunkelton.
Another incident occurred on February 28, 2021, at approximately 9:33 p.m. where Crunkelton was witnessed to have involvement in this case as well. A call came into the Washington County Communications Center in reference to a stolen vehicle.
