Ersel Crum Jr., 53, of Inez, was arrested Thursday on Dalton Crum Road in Inez for third-degree burglary after allegedly entering a neighbor’s house. Sheriff Kirk was dispatched on a call that Crum was outside his neighbor’s house walking around it. Moments later, dispatch advised the sheriff that Crum had kicked in the door to the residence.

When the sheriff arrived, he found Crum inside his own residence “talking to himself.” 

“He advised he went to his neighbor’s house to talk with her son about a dispute and the son had run from the front to the back of the house several times,” Kirk said in his report. “The neighbor’s son is in jail and has been for some time.”

Crum allegedly admitted he opened the back door to his neighbor’s house and entered without permission.

“He kept talking to himself on the way to the booking room,” noted Kirk.

Fourteen hours later, Crum was charged with public intoxication near Milo Road. Deputy Kidd responded to a call about a man trying to get into cars and jumping on them near Horn’s BP, swinging his arms, talking to himself and talking out of his head.
