Three Individuals Arrested in Drug and Warrant Operation in Corning
On August 3, 2024, at approximately 7:59 p.m., Corning Police Officers responded to a report concerning suspicious activity at 706 South Street. The report described a male subject in a white shirt with tattoos, identified as Michael Craig Baker, who had discarded a bicycle in an alley and entered a residence where he was reportedly not authorized to be.
Officers were already familiar with Baker, who was associated with the residence and on Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) with both felony and misdemeanor warrants. At the time of the incident, Baker was found to be in violation of his supervision conditions.
Hailley Rennae Crawford, another individual present at the residence, was on felony probation and had three felony warrants. Corina Rae Crawford, who was also at the residence, was identified as an accessory and had a history of felony warrants. The Tehama County Sheriff’s Deputies assisted Corning Police in managing the situation.

A probation search of the residence revealed drug paraphernalia throughout the premises. Additionally, three grams of methamphetamine were found in Corina Crawford’s purse. Hailley Crawford was arrested on charges related to her warrants, possession of drug paraphernalia, and methamphetamine. Corina Crawford was arrested for being an accessory and possession of methamphetamine.
The investigating officers for this case are Officer Hewitt and Sergeant Squier. The incident was approved for release by Sergeant Squier.
