Probable cause: Carl Junction man claims Jasper County deputy ruining his life by arresting him for DWI


A $10,000 cash or surety bond has been set for a Carl Junction man charged with felony driving while intoxicated and illegal possession of a firearm following a traffic stop Friday at 2000 Forest Drive in Carthage.

According to the probable cause statement, John C. Crandon (DOB 1988) was pulled over after running a stop sign.

From the statement:

Crandon was crying and yelling prior to performing sobriety tests and repetitively requested that I let him go and that I was ruining his life.
A partially empty flask containing alcohol and a Sig M17 pistol were found in Crandon's vehicle, the statement said.







Court records indicate Crandon has pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated on at least three occasions, October 17, 2005 in Newton County Circuit Court where he was sentenced to three months, was given a suspended sentence and was placed on probation for two years.

Crandon pleaded guilty to DWI October 31, 2011 in Jasper County Circuit Court and was sentenced to two years, had the sentence suspended and was placed on probation for two years.






The Jasper County Sheriff's Office arrested Crandon for DWI March 4, 2017 with someone under the age of 17 in his vehicle. More than three years later, June 29, 2020, Judge Dean Dankelson sentenced Crandon to four years in prison, suspended the sentenced and placed him on probation for five years. Crandon was required to spend 30 days of shock time in the Jasper County Jail.

According to online Jasper County Circuit Court records, Crandon's five years of supervised probation concluded January 1, 2023 after two years and six months.
