Davenport, IA – U.S. Marshals arrested an Arkansas fugitive
in Davenport on Tuesday, ending a three-month long manhunt. Timothy L. White,
30, was wanted by the Blytheville, Arkansas Police Department on charges of
first degree battery. White is accused of shooting a man from inside his
vehicle following a verbal dispute there on the evening of June 23.
In July, the Blytheville Police Department asked U.S.
Marshals in the Eastern District of Arkansas to help locate and arrest White.
On September 15, U.S. Marshals in Arkansas developed information that White may
have fled to Davenport.
Additional investigation by U.S. Marshals in the Southern
District of Iowa suggested that White was working at a used car lot near the
intersection of Birchwood Avenue and Rockingham Road in Davenport. On Tuesday,
U.S. Marshals and officers from the Davenport Police Department located White
at the used car lot. White was taken into custody without incident.
“The arrest of fugitive Timothy White once again
demonstrates the extraordinary cooperation and tenacity of the U.S. Marshals
and our law enforcement partners. Locally and nationally, dedicated men and
women in law enforcement, at all levels of government, are working around the
clock to identify, pursue, and capture America’s fugitives. The arrest of
Timothy White is yet one more example of their effective and relentless
efforts,” said Mike Bladel, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Iowa.
White is also wanted by the Arkansas Board of Parole on charges
of alleged parole violations. An arrest warrant was issued in that case in
January 2014.
White is currently being held in the Scott County Jail
awaiting extradition proceedings.
