I-TEAM: Man accused of shooting woman after being kicked out of home has history of violent arrests

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The WAFB I-TEAM has learned the man police have arrested and accused of holding a woman at gunpoint in her home has a lengthy history of violent arrests.

According to the Baton Rouge Police Department Cody Crump, 31, was arrested for attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon and other charges. According to arrest documents, Crump was inside a woman’s home on June 12, 2023. When she asked him to leave, he allegedly shot through the door of the home and hit the woman.

Based on a review of arrest documents by the WAFB I-TEAM, Crump was just out on a $15,000 bond that was filed in March this year which stemmed from an arrest in March of 2022 where he was jailed on a felon in possession with a weapon charge. One of the conditions of his bond was that he was not supposed to have a gun and that he was supposed to be monitored by DTS monitoring.

The WAFB I-TEAM has learned through a source close to the case that Crump was being monitored through a phone monitoring system. That same source says a phone monitoring system is usually reserved for low-risk offenders and is less aggressive than ankle monitoring. A letter was actually sent today that he had failed to comply with the terms of the monitoring. A letter sent from DTS Monitoring obtained by the WAFB I-TEAM shows where Crump had not checked in within the last 24 hours, which is required to stay in compliance.

Arrest documents also show Crump was arrested in March after a traffic stop where police found a stolen gun in the car he was driving. He was also charged for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm at the time.

Crump was also arrested in January 2019 for weapons charges and according to court records, he was sentenced to two years in prison.
