CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW)- Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a man with 26 warrants including one for attempted murder.
Eric Tyreese Davis, Jr., 22, was arrested on Tuesday, Oct. 29 by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies in the Warrant’s Division spotted Davis on Arthur’s Court and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Davis refused to stop and fled at a high rate of speed. He stopped his vehicle at the intersection of Needmore Road and Bell Road and fled on foot. After a short foot pursuit, deputies apprehended him.
Cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, scales, wrapping paper, and several unknown powder and rock substances were found at the scene.
Davis has been arrested multiple times since January 2016.
Earlier this year he was charged with attempted murder. He bonded out and was arrested earlier this month for reckless endangerment. He bonded out again and failed to make a court appearance. At which time, his bonds were revoked and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

“As you can see by his extensive list of charges, this thug does not need to be freely roaming our streets,” said Sheriff John Fuson. “Although my deputy received a couple of minor injuries during the course of the pursuit and apprehension, I’m thankful it ended with this thug in custody.”
Fuson added, “We have been working hard to locate and quickly arrest offenders like this and will continue to do so. It is my hope that as we apprehend them, they will stay behind bars, where they belong, and not released until they are fully adjudicated in a court of law.”
Davis is currently being held without bond.
