Allegedly intoxicated, 25 year old Jack Crumpley fell down acting crazy when law enforcement arrived.
Intoxicated and Acting Crazy, Man Found on US-190, LIVINGSTON, July 23, 2011 - Shortly before 2 am on July 23, 2011, a call was placed to the Polk County Sheriff's Office to report a man wandering in the middle of the road on US-190 West. According to the caller, the man was wandering in the east-bound lanes and one car reportedly had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid hitting the pedestrian. Deputies Vance Berry and Billy Duke were dispatched and were soon joined by Deputy Terri White. Deputy Berry found the man who fell down on the ground acting crazy when Berry arrived. Berry immediately called for an ambulance. Trooper Darwon Evans with the Texas Highway Patrol was summoned and as things turned out, the man, Jack Crumpley, 25, of Webster, had actually rolled his green 2000 Ford Expedition. The vehicle rolled to the right of 190 in the grass near the Old Mill Center, came to rest upright, then was driven to the next parking lot. Americare Ambulance Service arrived and had a difficult time dealing with Crumpley who was laying on the ground acting crazy as if hallucinating. Crumpley, who allegedly smelled of alcohol, told Officers that he wasn't driving that another man named "Jason" was driving his vehicle. Crumpley described "Jason" as a man with long hair and a red shirt. No such man was ever found. Crumpley began to get combative with EMS personnel. Crumpley was loaded into an ambulance and upon arrival at Livingston Memorial Hospital, refused any medical treatment. A rollback wrecker from Ken's Towing recovered Crumpley's vehicle and it will be stored at Harrison Body Shop in Livingston. Crumpley will likely be charged with public intoxication and could be facing other charges. The scene on 190 was cleared shortly after 3 am.
