He was checked out by medical staff and returned to his cell.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Castle Rock Police Department worked together to set up a perimeter around the detention center.

Crocker was booked into the detention center by the Lone Tree Police Department on February 5 on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, shoplifting, forgery, simulation impersonation and related offenses, and attempt to influence a public servant.
