Texarkana, Texas – A 20-year-old man named Brandon Leshawn Davis has been arrested following a two-day manhunt that involved multiple law enforcement agencies and K9 teams. The search concluded on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025, after a concerted effort to locate Davis, who had fled on foot during a vehicle chase initiated by police.
The situation escalated on Monday, Aug. 11, when officers from the Texarkana Texas Police Department pursued a stolen vehicle. The chase came to an end on County Road 2220, where Davis exited the vehicle and fled into a nearby wooded area. Despite an extensive search effort that lasted several hours, initial attempts to locate him were unsuccessful.
Later that morning, a citizen spotted Davis, leading to a renewed search effort, which once again involved multiple law enforcement agencies. Despite the use of K9 tracking teams, Davis continued to evade capture, disappearing into dense woods every time he was seen.
Over the following 24 hours, law enforcement officers repeatedly attempted to track Davis, but he managed to slip away on multiple occasions. However, the turning point in the search occurred on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 12, around 8:24 a.m. Davis was spotted again near the end of County Road 2220, prompting Bowie County deputies to establish a perimeter around the area.
The successful capture of Davis was attributed to the combined efforts of various agencies, including Texas Game Warden McMillen and his K9, along with the Miller County Sheriff’s Office, which sent their own K9 unit to aid the search. Through this cooperative interagency strategy, authorities were able to locate Davis once more, and this time, he complied with officers’ verbal commands and was taken into custody without further incident.
Brandon Leshawn Davis is now being held at the Bowie County Jail, facing charges of evading arrest and failure to identify. Additionally, he has multiple felony warrants from other agencies, indicating a concerning criminal history.
The Bowie County Sheriff’s Office highlighted the value of interagency cooperation in successfully apprehending Davis. Agencies involved in the effort included the Texarkana Texas Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The sheriff’s office expressed pride in the local law enforcement community’s ability to effectively collaborate and achieve positive outcomes in challenging situations like this one.
This incident underscores the challenges law enforcement faces when pursuing suspects who evade capture, emphasizing the importance of teamwork among various agencies to ensure public safety and effective law enforcement.
