Pontiac — The lawyers for the parents of the Oxford High teenager charged in Tuesday's school shooting said Friday that James and Jennifer Crumbley are returning to the area to be arraigned on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

The Oakland County Fugitive Apprehension Team was searching Friday for the parents of Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old Oxford High sophomore charged with first-degree murder of four students and other criminal charges, after county Undersheriff Mike McCabe said the couple had stopped responding to their attorney.

James and Jennifer Crumbley of Oxford were named in criminal warrants Friday, with each being charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of four Oxford High School students who were allegedly slain by their son. They also were named in a noon press conference held by Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald to announce the charges.

“Their attorney had assured us that if a decision was made to charge them, she would produce them for arrest,” McCabe said Friday. .

That agreement with attorney Smith was sometime in the morning, McCabe said around 2 p.m.

McCabe said Fugitive Apprehension Team officers were out searching for the couple as of mid-afternoon Friday.

Scott Weinberg, a former Macomb County assistant prosecutor and a longtime Oakland County defense attorney, said Friday that “attorneys have just so much power” and cannot compel the presence of a client.

William Winters, a 38-year veteran defense attorney in Detroit, said such arrangements are “not generally” made in homicide cases
