In 2011, he was convicted of threatening behaviour with a weapon and jailed for 30 days, and received another conviction in that year for cashing forged bank cheques.[6]

On May 1, 2016, Cramer was arrested in connection with a bank robbery of a Scotiabank outlet that occurred in Sechelt, British Columbia a few days earlier.[7] On June 8, 2016, he pleaded guilty to charges of robbing a bank, wearing a disguise to commit a crime, fleeing the police and dangerous driving.[8] On August 31, 2016, he was sentenced to a custodial term of two years less a day, as well as two years of probation, conditions of which include attending counselling and residing in a treatment centre for narcotics abuse.[9]

In 2018, production began on a documentary about Cramer's life, entitled Life After the Navigator.[10] [11]
