Officials drop bombshell: James Crumbley made threats over jailhouse phone


(Detroit Free Press) Day 1 of testimony in James Crumbley's trial was almost an instant replay of his wife's case, but it ended on a dramatic note, with the jury being sent home early and a visibly irritated Crumbley mouthing "no" emphatically to his lawyer.

Turned out, Crumbley was caught making threatening statements on a jailhouse telephone and in electronic messages, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the Free Press late Thursday, noting "his access to a phone or electronic messaging is now limited to communication with his lawyer." Authorities did not disclose the nature of the threats or toward whom they were made.

Jail phone restricted for Michigan school shooter’s dad after he made threats, authorities say (Associated Press)

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A judge restricted the use of a phone and tablet by the father of a Michigan school shooter after he used them to make “threatening statements” from jail, authorities said Friday.

James Crumbley is on trial for involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of four students killed by his son Ethan Crumbley at Oxford High School in 2021. He’s being held in the Oakland County jail.

The sheriff’s office, in a brief statement, didn’t elaborate on the threats.
