Fox News anchor Geraldo Rivera was issued a trespass warning after a contentious interview with the father of a missing Putnam County girl.
As the search for 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings entered its 13th day, the county was abuzz about the contentious interview with her father Saturday night with Rivera.
Cummings got upset when Rivera said he'd been told by members of Haleigh's mother's family that Cummings hit the child and has said he is 75 percent sure he knows who has her. Accusations of drug use, Ronald being a drug informant, and other alleged statements indicating a dark side to the missing girl's father's life were denied by Cummings.
Rivera also threw allegations of child abuse at Ronald Cummings, although coming from Haleigh's mother's side of the camp. Geraldo asked Cummings if he had ever hit his daughter, Haleigh. Geraldo said Crystal Sheffield, Haleigh's mother, has photos to prove the fact. Ronald Cummings stated that he had only disciplined Haleigh by spanking her behind, "as in guidelines with DCF (sic) to spanking." Although the photo of Haleigh depicted scratches on her face and chin area, along with some bruising, Crystal Sheffield stated that the school had sent a letter home with Haleigh that day saying Haleigh received the injuries after a fall on the sidewalk. Crystal Sheffield's mother, Marie Grifis, grandmother of Haleigh, pressed that the injuries were not consistent "with "a fall on concrete."
Putnam County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene later, and issued Rivera the trespass warning at the request of the two property owners on whose land the Cummings family is camping while their trailer remains closed off as a crime scene.
A trespass warning means Rivera would be arrested if he came back onto the property. Rivera told deputies he understood and stated he would not come back to the address, but declined to sign the trespass warning, according to a sheriff’s office report.
Ronald Cummings, his four year old son, and seventeen year old girlfriend had lived in makeshift tents before Friday, when someone donated a travel camper for their use. Their double-wide home is still considered a crime scene and the family is not allowed entry into the home.
