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.
