Juror’s sudden absence deepens mystery of fugitive drug trio

That’s the last day court officials saw Franklin resident Eric Powell and Proge, a Detroit resident. Both men were free on $10,000 unsecured bond.

McIntosh’s absence delayed the start of closing arguments and triggered a search by court officials.

“They tried his cellphone, his home phone number — they did everything short of sending a car out to his house,” said Proge’s lawyer Patricia Maceroni. “He was always on time and very attentive. Everyone was very surprised he did not show up.”

McIntosh could not be found and failed to show up on May 9 or May 12. That’s the day jurors reached guilty verdicts against the three drug dealers and Daniels.

When Carlos Powell, 39, of Washington Township learned there was a verdict, court officials said he cut his ankle tether and disappeared.
