AYER — On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at approximately 12:29 a.m., Ayer Police Officer James Crawford was concluding a motor vehicle stop in the parking lot of Archer’s Mobil Gas Station at 70 Main Street, when Sergeant Timothy Ialeggio notified him that a woman inside the gas station had an active warrant out of Newburyport District Court, which was issued on Jan. 4, 2023.

According to Officer Crawford, the woman was identified as Cris Cummings, 32, of Bangor, Maine.
“Sgt. Ialeggio and I then entered Archer’s Mobil to make contact with Cris,” Officer Crawford said. “Through conversation, we were able to positively confirm Cris’ identity. Dispatch confirmed Cris’ straight warrant as active.”
Officer Crawford said he then placed Cummings in handcuffs and escorted her to the rear of his cruiser where she was searched for contraband and weapons. Cummings was then placed into the cruiser’s prisoner compartment and transported to the station for booking.
After Cummings was booked and fingerprinted, Officer Crawford said she was released to the front lobby on personal recognizance, which was set by Bail Commissioner Charlene McCormack.
“Cris refused a community transport back to her residence,” Officer Crawford said.
Cris Cummings, 32, of Bangor, Maine, was arrested and charged with:
- Warrant Arrest
Cummings’ arraignment was scheduled for the morning of Oct. 29, 2025, in Ayer District Court.
Disclaimer: If you are wondering why the arrest in this story took place in October, that’s because I had to file FOIA request(s) to obtain the court documents. FOIAs are time-consuming.
