Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said the Crumbleys' attorney would make arrangements for their arrest if charges were issued, and when the warrants were issued Friday, "detectives immediately moved to arrest the couple," the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said.
The attorney told police "she had made repeated attempts to reach them by phone and text without success," the sheriff's office said.
Bouchard said, "The action of fleeing and ignoring their attorney certainly adds weight to the charges. They cannot run from their part in this tragedy."
The couple's attorneys then said in a statement: "The Crumbleys left town on the night of the tragic shooting for their own safety. They are returning to the area to be arraigned. They are not fleeing from law enforcement."
In a response to the statement by the attorneys for Jennifer and James Crumbley, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said it is not aware that the couple is returning to be arraigned.
"If they are, it's news to us," Undersheriff Mike McCabe told ABC News, saying authorities still don't know where the couple is located.
