James L. Davis III, 28 years of age, was arrested by Moses
Lake PD on December 9. Davis was hiding
at a relative’s home in the area and called requesting to turn himself in. Davis stated that the pressure exerted by law
enforcement officers in Benton, Franklin, Grant and Yakima Counties made hiding
out too difficult. He was taken into
custody without incident.
Davis is wanted for his participation in a shooting event
that happened in Richland on December 4. Over 20 rounds of 7.62 x 39 mm ammunition were
fired at a Ford Explorer occupied by three individuals. The SUV was hit more than 12 times.In addition to the 1st Degree Assault charges from Benton County, Davis is also wanted on 4 warrants. He was booked into the Grant County Jail. Richland Police investigators drove to Ephrata to interview Davis. Transportation to the Benton County jail will occur at a later time.
