The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Law Enforcement Records - Tim Crutchley Interview

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Law Enforcement Records Management System software tracks individual Narratives for interviews or evidence gathering conducted by the Sheriff's Office for an Incident Report. The Incident Report is assigned a Case Number.

The Case Number for the Critchlow Case is: 201619044. There were 14 Narratives in the Incident Report provided to me.

The first Incident Narrative in the Incident Report was an interview with Tim Crutchley who took over as "Interim Superintendent" of Fox C-6 after the departure of former superintendent Dianne Critchlow.
In Tim Crutchley's interview he mentions Dianne Critchlow, Jamie Critchlow, Pete Nicholas, Deborah Davis and Mark McCutchen.

One of the most notable narratives documented in the report from Tim Crutchley was :
"Tim advised cash from entry fees at school football games was taken home by Dianne, which was never counted or logged in any way."
I also found it interesting that Mr. Crutchley mentioned the 2012 Bond Issue money during his interview and the difference between what was budgeted and what was requested. I wrote about this issue back in July 2012.

It's one of the reasons I was sent a Cease and Desist letter from Dianne Critchlow:
Documents Redacted by the Sheriff's Office
The documents I received from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office are public records and were redacted by the Sheriff's Office to obscure Social Security Numbers, Date of Birth and Phone Numbers. It's important for the Fox C-6 community to see what was reviewed by the various prosecuting attorneys since no charges were filed in this case. I believe that most people in the Fox C-6 community and even outside the community find it difficult to understand and digest just what was collected by the Sheriff's Office collected and recorded into the Incident Reports. I wasn't provided copies of additional documents that were collected by JCSO.

Examples of some of the documents collected:
  • Closed Session school board meeting minutes
  • emails
  • copies of employment contracts
  • tax records from Dianne Critchlow's personnel file
  • hard drives from the school district.
I'm curious as to why interviews weren't conducted with Dianne Critchlow, Jamie Critchlow or Mark McCutchen. Their names were listed in the Persons segment of the Incident Report but there weren't any Narratives documented for them.

Need A Copy of the FBI Report
It's important that community obtains a copy of the FBI's Report which was reviewed by the prosecuting attorneys in order to get a more complete picture of what was uncovered.
Below is a link to a copy of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Incident Narrative Report of Tim Crutchley's interview in PDF format.


I used PDF-XChange Editor software by Tracker Software Products to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on the scanned PDF document that was emailed to me from the Sheriff's Office. Performing an OCR scan of the document makes the document text searchable. Otherwise, the Incident Reports are as I received them from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
