A coordinated law enforcement operation led to the arrest of three individuals, including Tecarlun Davis, who was wanted for committing a Terroristic Act on April 19, 2025, according to the Pine Bluff Police Department.
On May 29, 2025, Pine Bluff detectives received credible information that Davis was located at the Hampton Place Apartments. Officers and detectives, including Detective Boykin, Detective Edwards, Detective Drewery, Officer Derek Johnson, and Detective Sergeant Corey Wilfong, responded to the scene to attempt to apprehend Davis.
As officers surrounded the apartment, three Black males fled out the rear of the residence, initiating multiple foot pursuits.
One of the suspects, later identified as Patrick Johnson, was seen fleeing across the roof of the building while carrying a Glock handgun. He jumped off the roof toward Olive Street, where he was tased during the pursuit. Despite the stun, Johnson attempted to continue fleeing but was quickly apprehended by Officer Johnson and Detective Drewery. Johnson was found to be in possession of a firearm and a small amount of marijuana. He was charged with:
-
Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms
-
Fleeing
Meanwhile, Detective Edwards pursued Tecarlun Davis across Olive Street into a nearby wooded area. Davis briefly eluded capture, prompting a swift response from patrol units to secure the area. Davis was later spotted at the Alon gas station and taken into custody without further incident. A firearm that Davis had while fleeing was recovered after detectives searched the area he had run through. Davis now faces the following charges:
-
Terroristic Act
-
Aggravated Assault
-
Fleeing
A third suspect, Lamonte Thompson, was discovered hiding in the laundry room of the apartment complex. He was also taken into custody and charged with Fleeing.
The successful arrests were credited to the teamwork and coordination between the Pine Bluff Police Department’s Patrol and Detective Divisions.
“This operation is another example of our department’s commitment to ensuring the safety of our community and pursuing justice with diligence and coordination,” a spokesperson for the department said.
The investigation into the April 19 terroristic act continues, but authorities said they are confident the apprehension of Davis and the other suspects represents a major step forward in the case.
