Elections
Sponsored legislation
In 2014, Crandell sponsored SB1093, which would have required federal law enforcement and other agencies doing business in an Arizona county to register with and present a warrant to the county sheriff. The proposed bill also stipulated that half of all fines imposed by the federal government must be turned over to Arizona's general fund. The bill was rejected by the Senate Rules Committee, which voted 4-2 against it after its attorney said that it would likely violate the Constitution.
Death
He was found dead August 4, 2014, after failing to return from a horseback ride near Heber-Overgaard. He was 68. According to the Navajo County Sheriff's Office, Crandell had left for a one-hour ride at about 10 a.m. on what investigators were told was a new colt. When he did not return, family members searched the area where he was riding and at about 2 p.m. found him dead. The horse was found in the area. After an autopsy, the cause of death was determined to be injuries from being thrown from his horse.
