Detroit US marshal details arrests of James and Jennifer Crumbley
Deputy Aaron Garcia, of the U.S. Marshals Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, details arrests of parents of suspected Michigan school shooter.
The lawyer of an Oakland County resident who local law enforcement believes may have a connection to James and Jennifer Crumbley's disappearance told Fox News that if he had known the couple had active warrants, he would not have let them come to the building where his business is located.
"If he knew they had charges or active warrants, he definitely would not even have let them come by," Andrzej Sikora's lawyer Clarence Dass told Fox News.
Dass added that Sikora did not know that the couple was on the run.

The Crumbleys were found in a commercial building in Detroit.
On Sunday, Dass issued a statement saying that Sikora is a "person of interest" but has not been charged with any crime and has been in contact with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office to provide information.
"Mr. Sikora has not been charged with any crime. Nevertheless, upon learning of the Crumbleys’ arrest on December 4, 2021, he voluntarily contacted the Detroit Police Department and Oakland County Sheriff’s Office to provide information," Dass said.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office announced that a meeting between detectives and Sikora is scheduled for Monday, and will discuss any connections with the disappearance of Jennifer and James Crumbley.
