California Man Sentenced for Assaulting Deputy U.S. Marshal
A California man has been sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison for assaulting a Deputy U.S. Marshal who was attempting to take him into custody following a hearing in federal court.
Jeffrey Adam Crum, 34, was convicted of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1). The incident occurred on November 22, 2024, at a federal court hearing regarding allegations that Crum violated the terms of his supervised release following his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition in federal court in Utah.
According to court documents and the plea agreement, Crum resisted instructions by Deputy U.S. Marshals to enter and exit an elevator that would take him to a holding cell, forcing them to carry him. At one point, Crum kicked his legs out, striking a Deputy U.S. Marshal in the head.
Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Illston handed down the sentence, which will run concurrently with Crum’s 12-month supervised release term.
United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian and Supervisory Deputy United States Marshal David Siegel made the announcement. The defendant was immediately remanded into custody.
The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Marshals Service. Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eli J. Cohen and Christine Chen prosecuted the case with the assistance of Marina Ponomarchuk and Kevin Costello.
