Jackson said Davis could be driving a new silver Nissan Titan without a tag, and has property in Brewton and Walnut Hill, Fla.

“It’s possible he is between the two states, and last known is possibly in Texas,” he said.

Jackson said Davis is wanted with the ECSO on a felony warrant for sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old and has a failure to appear warrant.

Jackson said extradition for Davis can be done nationwide.

Jackson added that Davis is a convicted felon, and the alleged owner of firearms, possibly on his person.
