Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Officers arrested 26-year-old Bryan Anthony Crawford and his brother, 28-year-old Danny Ray Jr. Crawford at a Yin Yang Concert at the Swamp Nightclub just before 1 a.m. Both happen to be Crestview Police Officers.

Initial reports indicate that Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies were called to the rear deck area of the Boardwalk regarding a disturbance.

Juan Gonzales, head of the clubs security at The Swamp, informed deputies that Bryan and Danny Crawford were escorted to the deck and asked to leave after causing a scene with a woman. Gonzales told deputies Bryan struggled with security personnel as they attempted to remove him from the club.

Sheriff’s deputies said Crawford reeked of alcohol, and was slurring his words.

Sheriff’s deputies asked Crawford to leave the area, however he continued to deny the request. That’s when Danny Ray Jr. attempted to escort Bryan from the area; however, Bryan threw his hands in the air, and resisted Danny Ray’s efforts to leave the scene.

At this time, a Sheriffs deputy approached Bryan, grabbing his right arm to escort him out of the club, and that’s when Bryan shoved the Sheriff in an attempt to break free from his grasp. Another Sheriffs deputy became involved in an effort to bring Bryan to the ground.

Bryan A. Crawford was arrested for Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer and Disorderly Intoxication.

Danny Ray Jr. was arrested for Resisting arrest with Violence, and Disorderly Intoxication.

What kind of role models are these law enforcement officers? How can anyone look up to this type of behavior. I pray their supervisors deal harshly with them. For shame.
