Massachusetts fugitive captured in Duluth

U.S. Marshals found and captured a Massachusetts man in Duluth who disappeared in the middle of his trial last year.

Corey Mitchell-Edwards, 27, was on trial for cocaine trafficking and faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 12 years. A jury convicted him in absentia in April 2015.

U.S. Marshals investigated the disappearance and were eventually able to track Mitchell-Edwards to Duluth.

Mitchell-Edwards faces rendition from Georgia to Massachusetts and could face additional charges of bail jumping.
