Yeah, that's nearly 10 years old, 2015. He was convicted.

Today a Hood County jury found William Crum GUILTY of Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon and Aggravated Assault Causing Severe Bodily Injury. William Crum has been sentenced to 15 years for both charges.

This was not the first time Crum had a run in with the local law enforcement, including Hood County & Somervell County. It was also not the first time he had been accused of misconduct with a motor vehicle, according to court and arrest records.

On July 28, 1989, he was arrested by Arlington police for assault and family violence, later to be charged and sentenced to 1 year probation. He was also ordered to pay an unspecified restitution for this crime. Jump forward a few years to Aug. 23, 1993, Crum was picked up by Granbury PD for silent or abusive calls to a 9-1-1 call center – a class B misdemeanor that was later dismissed.

Approximately 6 months later, he was picked up by Somervell County Sheriff’s Deputies for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle – a 3rd degree felony in which he entered a plea of no contest. Crum was convicted of the charge on Sept. 26, 1994, which resulted in $87 in court costs, 80 hours of community service and 2 years of community supervision.

13 years later, he was charged yet again with improper use of a vehicle by the Somervell County Sheriff’s Department. He was observed to be driving recklessly on March 28, 2007, but this time was also charged with making a terroristic threat. Despite pleading ‘not guilty’ to the charge of making a terroristic threat, he was later convicted of both charges and confined to two years in jail, while being forced to pay $500 in court fines and a $612 court fines.
