Friday, after being charged the parents of the Oxford high-school shooter went missing. Their attorney had told investigators that if charged, they’d turn themselves in.
After being charged with Involuntary man slaughter, the pair went missing. Their attorney told sheriffs that she was unable to reach the parents.
Now, the parents of Ethan Crumbley have been found and ultimately arrested.
AP reported, A judge imposed a combined $1 million bond Saturday for the parents of the Michigan teen charged with killing four students at Oxford High School, hours after police said they were caught hiding in a Detroit commercial building.
The judge has also required that if they are to be released on bail or bond, they must be monitored via GPS devices to ensure that they do not flea Justice again.
Both parents have pled not guilty to the four involuntary manslaughter charges that they face.
The parents’ attorney is claiming that the firearm used in the tragic shooting was locked up. However, if this were indeed the case, some negligence would still be present as Ethan Crumbley was still able to obtain the gun and carry out the shooting.
The defense lawyer said that the parents are “just as devastated” as everyone else. The only difference is, the Crumbley parents could have taken steps to prevent the attack from happening in the first place.
