U.S. Marshals in FL Arrest MI Man Wanted for Sexual Assault of Minor
For immediate release
Detroit, MI – The U.S. Marshals (USMS) Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF), working a collateral lead from the USMS Eastern District of Michigan Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team (DFAT), July 15 arrested in Jacksonville, Florida, a man wanted in Michigan for sexual assault of a minor.
Kevin J. Davis Sr., 43, of Taylor, was wanted on two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, based on a warrant issued May 20 in Washtenaw County. In early June, Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies requested DFAT assistance in locating and arresting Davis.
After DFAT investigators learned Davis had relocated to the Jacksonville area and was likely residing with a girl he had brought with him from Michigan, they relayed this information to the FCRFTF, who located Davis at a Jacksonville industrial plant in Jacksonville where he was employed as an armed security guard.
Davis was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office for booking and processing.
The USMS DFAT is one of 58 local task forces dedicated to reducing violent crime by locating and apprehending wanted criminals. They serve as the central point for agencies to share information on fugitive matters. Task force officers are state and local police officers who receive special deputations with the Marshals. While on a task force, these officers can exercise U.S. Marshals authorities, such as crossing jurisdictional lines.
The Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force began operations in July 2008 following the Presidential Threat Protection Act of 2000. With partnership agreements with over 90 federal, state, or local agencies and 11 fully operational offices, the FCRFTF has apprehended over 67,600 fugitives since inception. The FCRFTF, in cooperation with their partners, has made an extraordinary impact on the apprehension of the region’s most dangerous and violent fugitives making their communities and citizens safer.
