DETROIT (WWJ) The leaders of a large-scale drug ring fled Monday, according to federal authorities, before they were found guilty of drug charges in Detroit federal court.
It was one of the largest heroin and cocaine rings in metro Detroit history, prosecutors said, but before a jury handed down guilty verdicts, three convicted in the case 39-year-old Carlos Powell of Washington Township; 36-year-old Eric Powell of Franklin Farms; and 38-year-old Earnest Proge of Detroit all took off.
Deputy U.S. Marshall Rob Watson said the three were able to get away because they were out on bond. {Miniscule Amount Censored}.

Here's some revealing facts (LINK):
"{U.S. Magistrate Judge} Murphy allowed each man to wear a fez hat in his courtroom."Why did one judge allow the fezes in court and why did 2 judges set the ridiculously low and unsecured (no cash up front) bail from such rich criminal defendents?
"U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Randon released Carlos Powell on $50,000 unsecured bond."
"U.S. Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub, meanwhile, released 36-year-old Eric Powell and 38-year-old Proge on $10,000 unsecured bond."
"During a raid of Carlos Powells home in northern Macomb County, agents found $3 million in cash."
"During a years-long investigation, agents seized 66 pounds of heroin, 12 kilograms of cocaine, 1,000 pounds of marijuana and more than $21 million in cash... $800,000 worth of jewelry, real estate in Michigan and Georgia and luxury vehicles, including two Bentleys, a Ferrari, a Rolls Royce, and boats."
Here's the CBS censored background (LINK):
The court had received assertions of "the mens Status, and Nationality as members of the Moorish Science Temple of America (MSTA)" and of the fezes being religious headdress that must be worn to distinction. [See also Link]Before founding Farakan's Nation of Islam (Black Muslims) Wallace Muhammad stoked his radicalism as a member of the Moorish Science Temple of America.
"So-called Moors are typically black nationalists who... deny the jurisdiction and authority of the government".
Once again Chairman Obama's "transformation" of America and the reign of Political Correctness has given radical anti-Americans preferential treatment and the Media has covered it up.
You can still buy a judge fairly cheap in Detroit.
Does Sly Stone know about this ?
Which way d they go? With those kooky-looking hats they must be easily identifiable ... maybe the FBI could find them?
3 million in cash. Damn, I have about two dollars and some change on me..!
look like kids playing dressup
Check the judges bank accounts.
It’s THE MOOPS!!
I was thinking more like Steely Dan “I’m never going to do it without the fez on.”
You would think with all of the world being under constant surveillance that three guys in Detroit would be easy to find. Hmm.
My take is they don’t want to find them.
Yes. That is what I take from it, too.
“Its THE MOOPS!!”
Ya mean bammys brothers and members of the choom gang?
Keep working that hat, Ladies...
Insignificant bails...$3,000,000.00 in cash??????? You tell me there isn’t some corruption involved. I bet they were DIM donors.
It’s from a Seinfeld episode (The Bubble Boy)
What I don’t understand .. WHY IS ANYBODY SURPRISED ..??
