Following this incident, at approximately midnight the same day, SJCSO received calls that Crawford was at the Vilano pier drunk, screaming, and attempting to drive.

SJCSO deputies were able to pull him over and noticed a strong smell of alcohol in his car. Reports state that he refused to give any license or insurance, refused to participate in a field sobriety test, and refused the breathalyzer.

After he was told that this left it up to the deputies to decide if he was able to drive, he began screaming again, this time for a lawyer.

He was promptly put under arrest for DUI.
