James Crumbly, the father of the Oxford school shooter, is currently restricted from making phone calls to anyone except his attorney due to alleged threats made while in jail, as reported by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. The recipient of these messages remains undisclosed. Crumbly is facing trial in Michigan shortly after his wife, Jennifer, was found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. This marked the first conviction of a parent of a mass shooter.
James Crumbly purchased the gun used by his son, Ethan Crumbly, in the tragic incident at Oxford High School where four individuals lost their lives. During the trial, Detective Joe Bryan, who leads the Special Investigation Unit, testified that he contacted James Crumbly upon Ethan's arrest and requested his presence at the substation where Ethan was being held.
