SAN FRANCISCO — A former Bay Area resident was sentenced Friday to one year and one day in prison for assaulting a deputy U.S. marshal who tried to take him into custody after a court hearing last November, according to federal prosecutors.

Jeffrey Adam Crum, 34, previously of Burlingame and San Francisco, pleaded guilty on May 16 to one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding a federal officer.
The assault happened on Nov. 22, 2024, when Crum appeared in federal court for a hearing regarding allegations he violated the terms of his supervised release following his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said, citing court documents and Crum’s plea agreement.
The court, at the time, ordered that Crum be detained pending further proceedings.
Crum was upset by the court’s decision and “opposed, resisted and impeded” the efforts of deputy U.S. marshals to take him into custody, according to prosecutors.
“Specifically, Crum resisted instructions by deputy U.S. marshals to enter and exit an elevator that would take him to a holding cell, forcing them to carry him,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. “At one point, Crum kicked his legs out, striking a deputy U.S. marshal in the head.”
A federal grand jury indicted Crum on Dec. 3, 2024.
Crum on Friday was also sentenced to one year and one day in prison for violating the terms of his supervised release, according to prosecutors. Both terms will be served at the same time.
Crum was immediately remanded into custody after the sentences were handed down.
