Following his indictment, the U.S. Marshals Service joined the hunt for Davenport. Deputy Marshals quickly learned Davenport fled Missouri for Chicago where he successfully eluded capture for several months.
The Chicago Strike Force, a multi-agency organization under the Organized Crime Drug Enforcment Task Forces (OCDETF), joined the hunt for Davenport along with U.S. Marshals Service investigators in Chicago and Iowa.
In June 2021, Marshals tracked Davenport to a rural location near Zwingle, Iowa. On June 23rd, about 4:00 p.m. a combined team of Deputy U.S. Marshals from Missouri, Iowa and Illionois, along with the Dubuque Drug Task Force located and arrested Davenport without incident. Davenport remains in federal custody pending extraditon to Missouri.
“Davenport’s arrest resulted from the combined efforts of talented investigators across three states,” said Mark James, U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Missouri, “Davenport will now face the justice he’s fled for so long.”
