The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the Putnam County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday arrested Hank Thomas Croslin, Sr., 41, of Satsuma, Fla. for doctor shopping.  Croslin is the father of the woman with whom missing Haleigh Cummings was left before her disappearance.

During the Haleigh Cummings investigation, law enforcement received information alleging that Croslin was fraudulently obtaining prescription drugs.

The investigation revealed that Croslin obtained approximately 300 Oxycodone and Hydrocodone pills from three different physicians between April and May 2009. None of the prescribing doctors were aware that the others had prescribed the controlled substances. This practice is known as doctor shopping, a third-degree felony.

Croslin was arrested at his home at 116 Tyler Street in Satsuma, Fla. and charged with withholding information from a practitioner. He was booked into the Putnam County Jail.

Hank Thomas Croslin, Sr. is the father of Misty Croslin.  Five-year-old Haleigh Cummings was reported missing on February 10, after being left in the care of Misty by Haleigh's father -- and then-fiancé to Misty -- Ronald Cummings.   Hank Thomas Croslin Jr., brother of Misty, was arrested in September on a charge of grand theft.  Also in September, Lisa Croslin, the mother of Misty, was arrested in Tennessee on charges of forgery.

FDLE continues to assist the Putnam County Sheriff's Office in the missing child investigation.
