Most wanted fugitive captured in Longview

AUSTIN — An East Texan is among three of the state’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives recently captured, according to DPS. Christopher Wayne Davis II, 29, of Mt. Pleasant, was arrested in Longview following a traffic stop. Davis was added to the most wanted list Nov. 29. Officials say he had been wanted since May 2021, when the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a warrant for a parole violation. Later that month the Cass County Sheriff’s Office issued warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance.

In 2016, Davis was convicted of two counts of engaging in organized criminal activity and was sentenced to probation. In 2017, he was convicted of burglary of a habitation and was sentenced to five years in prison. Davis’ probation was also revoked. He was released on parole in May 2020.
