Two months after the rally, Crews obtained an arrest warrant for DeAndre Harris, a 20-year-old black man who was severely beaten in a parking garage by a group of white nationalists. Crews accused Harris of hitting him in the face with a flashlight during the altercation.

He told a magistrate that he had been permanently scarred from the alleged assault.

Crews declined to comment in October 2017 to a Winston-Salem Journal reporter. He told the reporter to “go away.”

Harris was ultimately acquitted of the charge. Three men were convicted of beating Harris.

According to the consent order, the N.C. State Bar received information that Crews mishandled entrusted client funds. The order does not contain details about the allegations, such as how much money he is accused of mishandling or whether more than one client is involved in the allegations.

Katherine Jean, general counsel for the N.C. State Bar, said Wednesday that she could not comment on a pending investigation. She said the order does not prohibit Crews from practicing law.

She confirmed that the order only prohibits him from handling his clients’ money.
