The incident occurred at 11am on September 20, 2020 as the boy had been filling in for another employee at the restaurant, where he’d worked on seven or eight other occasions, according to the owner.
Ethan is seen in the video wriggling on his feet as he enters the room. Ethan moves erratically, flailing his arms and moving from one side to the other. He then falls headfirst into a cabinet.

He struggles immediately to stand before falling a second-time, and a fellow coworker steps in to help him.
“Hold it. Are you okay?” He is asked by an older male worker. The older male employee asks him if he is feeling …’ Ethan. He murmurs almost incoherently.
DailyMail.com was told by his owner that Ethan appeared embarrassed after the incident. Staff called Ethan’s parents and asked them to collect him.
According to Ethan’s owner, Ethan was not eating on that particular day. The owner denied that Ethan’s mother was to blame and wondered if he might have been taking medication or if he had an underlying medical condition.
DailyMail.com’s owner stated that he had sent the dog home. “The mother said that it was because he wasn’t eating anything. This seems excessive for him to just not eat.

James and Jennifer Crumbley were taken into Oakland County Jail on Saturday morning. They were only a few miles from Canada’s border when they were first arrested. They led authorities in an extensive manhunt following their escape from charges of involuntary killing in relation to the school shooting that was claimed to have been committed by their son.
Ethan’s half-brother Eli (18 years old), also used to work at the diner.
According to the owner, there was another concerning incident that occurred last year with Eli. She described an incident last year in which she detected marijuana smoke from Eli’s backroom.
She said she was calling his parents and that Eli was not concerned by her threat. He laughed, and she said that his father had given it to her.
“Where did you get it from?” He purported to tell the owner.
Eli and Ethan share the same father but have different mothers. The boys, originally from Florida, moved to Oxford later with James Crumbley, their father, and Jennifer, Ethan’s second wife.
An older brother suggested that there had been family trouble, which led him to suddenly move out abruptly in March 2020. He moved to Florida with his mother, where he was born.
Ethan’s 18year-old half-brother Eli used to work at the diner. According to the owner, Eli was confronted last year by him after being allegedly seen smoking marijuana in the back of his car in an additional incident.
Eli (left), and Ethan are both from the same family, with different mothers. Originating from Florida the boys moved to Oxford after their dad James Crumbley married Jennifer.
Eli said that it was mostly due to the way he and my stepmother were getting along.
Ethan lived with his parents at a tiny Oxford home, two miles away from the scene where he allegedly opened fire and killed four students.
He is currently being held in the same prison as his parents, with 4 counts of murder and 24 other charges.
After a massive manhunt, his parents were taken into custody on Saturday.
James, age 45, and Jennifer (43), were both captured at the Detroit basement. They are less than half an hour from the Canadian border.
Both Crumbleys have pleaded not guilty for all four involuntary murder charges – one each for the Oxford High School students who were killed on Tuesday.
You could be sentenced to up 15 years in prison, $7,500 fine or mandatory DNA testing for each count.
They are being held on suicide watch and are now under $500,000 bail.

Ethan Crumbley, a Michigan school shooter, was tragically misunderstood in his response. School counselors agreed that his graphic drawing was actually a plan to make a videogame just hours prior to his rampage.
Prosecutors claim that the father bought the pistol his son used to murder four for Christmas, but failed to get it back after writing a note saying, “Thoughts won’t Stop, Help Me.”
Karen McDonald, Oakland County Prosecutor, alleged that the parents were charged with a number of crimes. Multiple warning signs were ignored by parents who refused to allow their son to go to school hours before the incident.
Jennifer tweeted about her trip with Ethan to try his new Christmas gift, a 9mm handgun. This was just three days after the shooting at Oxford High School and one day after James purchased it for Ethan.
McDonalds claimed that Ethan searched for ammo in his cell as he was sitting at Oxford High School on Nov 29. He reported this to school officials.
Madisyn Baldwin (17) and Hana Saint Juliana (14) were killed in the shooting rampage that took place at Oxford High School, suburban Detroit.
Justin Shilling (left), aged 17, died in hospital on Wednesday morning, while Tate Myre (right), died at school on Tuesday.
Ethan was invited to meet with the school’s administrators. His mother Jennifer received a voicemail from school regarding her son’s inappropriate internet search.
According to the prosecution, Ethan was also not asked by his mother or father if his gun was with him.
The teen instead returned to school and was shot.
Four students were killed in the shooting spree: Tate Myre, 16, Hana St Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17.
Judge Julie Nicholson declared Saturday that parents must pay their bond in full and will require them to use a GPS tracker for bail.
