There’s a courtroom battle brewing in Mecklenburg County, and it’s keeping a convicted felon accused of violent crimes out on the streets of Charlotte.
Channel 9 has told you about Michael Withers evading time behind bars despite facing charges in an alleged murder, a shooting, and an assault on the mot her of his child. On Friday, Channel 9 Crime Reporter Hunter Sáenz was in court as prosecutors tried to revoke his bond.
But Withers will have at least three more days of freedom before a judge decides whether or not to revoke his bonds. It’s another blow to the family of the man he’s accused of killing.
Withers was supposed to be in court on Friday, called in by prosecutors who want him back in jail.
In 2021, police say Withers shot and killed Haiishen McIntyre on a Huntersville basketball court. He posted a $500,000 bond and was released, but then he was arrested twice more for violent crimes, including another shooting. He got out on bond in both of those cases too.
