Dustin Michael Crum, 30, of Thelma, was arrested Sunday on Blacklog Road in Inez for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Deputy Adams reports Crum was pulled off beside the road and was standing beside the car, urinating. According to Adams, Crum had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath but denied drinking anything. Crum allegedly advised he had just left a friend’s house and was taking a girl home to Johnson County who was passed out in his vehicle.
The police report states that after Adams conducted field sobriety tests and advised Crum that he showed clues of impairment, Crum admitted drinking “a couple beers.” Once arrested, “[Crum] stated he worked for the mayor of Johnson County, knew the judges and county attorney … his boss can make a few phone calls, and he will be out of jail and that the judge will throw out the DUI.” Crum’s breath test was 0.087.

Justin Ray Adkins, 34, of Inez, was arrested Thursday at his home on Nichols Street on a bench warrant for failure to appear. Deputy Adams reports that when officers knocked on Adkins’ apartment door, Adkins yelled through the door and asked who it was, then went into the kitchen and turned off the light. According to Adams, Adkins ignored several commands to open the door, so the officers forced their entry.
“[Adkins] was standing at the top of the stairs cussing, screaming and being belligerent … wouldn’t comply with my commands to put his hands behind his back.” The report states Adams grabbed Adkins to put him in cuffs, and Adkins attempted to pull away and grabbed the stair railing, then grabbed the door as he was being walked out of the residence.
