M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr New Judge Grants Crocker Bond

Published: Wed, October 10, 2007 - 5:14 pm

Hours after a Citronelle man pleaded not guilty to charges of theft of property and falsely reporting that someone cut out his tongue, a Circuit Court Judge granted him bond.
Mike Crocker did not appear in court this morning but his lawyer entered a not guilty plea for him.
Yesterday, a judge denied bond to Crocker, saying he was a flight risk.
But this afternoon Circuit Court Judge Joseph Johnston granted Crocker a $100,000 bond.
The Judge has ordered that $50,000, half of it, be posted in cash only and the other half be a corporate surety bond.
Crocker is charged with taking more than $200,000 from his business Vulcan Industrial Services.
He is also a suspect in the murder of his co-worker Stephen Perret.
No charges have been filed in that case.
Crocker will be back in court December.

Well after not reading in a while....legalgal, the correct names inthis would be Mike Crocker and O’Neal Perret. Not the O’Neals and Crockers. Anyway, we have been commenting on this from day one and it is our right to speak anyway we want too. I think you acting the way you do on your post shows your “personal character or should I say lack thereof” is a true embarrassment to our small community. This is a free country the last time I checked, and being a free country, WE can speak anyway we want too. You just did.

Someone earlier posted about getting the names right, oneal especially. But the video clip said that his family referred to Mr. Perret as oneal. I also agree with the post that said that if Mr. Crocker did not commit this crime (the assault on his own person) then there would be evidence of defense wounds, not to mention other lacerations to the face, as I am sure that one would thrash around violently in order to avoid having a tongue cut. Does anyone know if the knife or whatever weapon that was used to sever the tongue was found? I do wonder though why if they really believe he did this horrendous crime of murdering Mr. Perret, he has not been charged. Surely they have had a search warrant issued while he was being held and searched his home and belongings. IF he did not do it then there is one dangerous person on the loose.

Had he gotten out with a scowl on his face then people would say that he was showing no remorse. Had he got out crying then people would say he was scared cause he was guilty. How many times has he been arrested and had the chance to practice his “going to jail” face? What face should he have made? I’ve thought about it and I can’t think of a suitable expression for a tongueless man who is a suspect in his friends murder to make for the cameras.......I think we are starting to grab at straws now.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Everybody is going on what the media has said. I just think that if I was accused of stealing money from the company, cutting of my own tongue, and being a suspect in my friends murder and I did not do it, I would not be on camera with a smirk on my face. I think I would be alittle more upset. That is MY opinion. Take it or leave it. I also know not everybody handles situations that same way. That might be how he is handeling it. But that did not look like somebody whos being accused of something he did not do. Oh and “Legalgal” it’s the Perret’s, not the O"neal’s. If your going to correct people, get your stuff right.

again, if he did flee...how far could he get when he talks with ‘half a tongue (or less)....he’s permanently branded for life.....with no place to hide...just common sense...he won’t run..

Citronelle......if you’re going to post.......please at least spellcheck your posting.."calus" is callus and ‘mornin’ is spelled “mourning.

This has been a terrible nightmare for the “O’neal’s” and “Crocker’s” I have no doubt....but also for our community....

But what is equally scary is watching you folks posts calling names and ‘mutilating’ people when you don’t have a single clue of what you’re even talking about.....

Some of you are my neighbors in this community.......all I can say is with neighbors like you........who in !@#$ needs an enemy......

I’m not saying that Mr. Crocker is an innocent party, if he is guilty, he must pay the penalty for whatever bad decisions he chose to make....but all of this mud slinging is just showing your personal character or should I say lack thereof.....and you are a true embarrassment to the good folks of our small community.

Well Citronelle let’s hope the courts at least put a hold on Crocker’s personal accounts so this won’t happen. I’m sure they have since according to the reports it has been proven that he stole the money.

well now we know where some more of the money wil go to get a fake passport and id… unbelievable that this cold calus murder gets to walk around free as a bird while o’neals family is still in mornin and trying to understand why “his good friend” did this

Eddie Smith was a guy they let out on bond and was electronically monitoring when he fled the country. You can Google Eddie Smith; Alabama and ge the scoop on that.
I don’t believe he’s going to run. He doesn’t even have a pass port.
