More felonies for the man who skipped out on his racketeering trial.

Ricky Wheeldon was arraigned Tuesday in Ingham County on drug and gun charges in connection with last month's arrest in Leslie Township.

He had been on the run for five months when state police caught him leaving a friend's house.

That friend is now bound to circuit court for his connection to Wheeldon. Duane Baumer is charged with harboring a felon and possession of meth.

He was driving the car the night of Wheeldon's arrest.
